Abstract

3D printing is the future. It will change the way in which we produce new materials—maybe much less in factories and much easier in shops. However, biobased materials have been difficult to 3D print. Most 3D printers use heat to melt the plastic or metal to be printed, and biobased materials are degraded. But cellulose nanofibrils have a solution to this problem: the printing paste is wet and dries out to a solid material. In this work, it was showed recent wound healing in Vinous Ulcer with kidney and other health complications using bacterial cellulose 3D print membranes.

Cellulose nanofibrils are the smallest fibres into which we can decompose cellulose. They are made from wood or from bactéria from agricultural or food production; they are able for 3D printing pastes because an appropriate mix of cellulose nanofibrils and water is very viscous, and can contain much water, up to 50% [1]

Summary

Introduction

Cellulose nanofibrils (nanocellulose) are the smallest fibres into which we can decompose cellulose. They are made from wood or from bactéria from agricultural or food production; they are able for 3D printing pastes because an appropriate mix of cellulose nanofibrils and water is very viscous, and can contain much water, up to 50% [1]. On drying out, these pastes produce very strong and biodegradable materials. Structures can be made flexible, strong and porous, and something similar. The properties of the structure (moisture, strength and flexibility) can be modified through manipulation of the cross-links between the fibrils mainly using hyaluronic acid, condroitin sulfate and alginate with calcium [2] [3].
