Abstract
- A method for 3D printing an interpenetrating network hydrogel was developed.
- Mechanical properties of 3D printed IPNs were tuned to mimic biological tissues.
- Mechanical property dependence on IPN chemical composition was studied.
- Stress relaxation was observed at swollen equilibrium for some IPN formulations.
