Melt Electrowriting
In article number 2209244, Carlos Sánchez‐Somolinos and co‐workers report on the melt electrowriting of liquid crystal elastomers to digitally position ultrafine fibers with controlled morphology. The presented methodology enables the preparation of well‐defined, high‐aspect‐ratio scaffolds with small dimensions hardly accessible with conventional extrusion‐based printing techniques...
Recently, significant advances have been achieved to precisely program the response of liquid crystal elastomers (LCEs) through extrusion‐based additive manufacturing techniques; however, important challenges remain, especially when well‐defined scaffolds based on ultrafine fibers are required. Here the melt electrowriting of reactive liquid crystalline inks, leading, after ultraviolet‐light‐induced...
