Chaotic Direct Ink Writing (ChDIW) of Hybrid Hydrogels: Implication for Fabrication of Micro-ordered Multifunctional Cryogels.

ABSTRACT: The modern era demands multifunctional materials to support advanced technologies and tackle complex environmental issues caused by these innovations. Consequently, material hybridization has garnered significant attention as a strategy to design materials with prescribed multifunctional properties. Drawing inspiration from nature, a multi-scale material design approach is proposed to produce 3D-shaped hybrid materials by combining chaotic flows with direct ink writing (ChDIW). This approach enables the formation of predictable multilayered filaments with tunable microscale internal architectures using just a single printhead. By assigning different nanomaterials to each layer, 3D-printed hydrogels and cryogels with diverse functionalities, such as electrical conductivity and magnetism are
