Abstract

Bio-Inspired Bouligand Nanostructures In article number 2206847, Monirosadat Sadati and co-workers present a 3D printing method for replicating intricate self-assemblies in biomaterials. Using the flow in the 3D printer's nozzle, helical assemblies of cellulose nanorods are arranged in a uniform and long-range concentric pattern that resembles Bouligand nanostructures found in mammalian cortical bones. By incorporating embedded printing and in-situ photo-polymerization techniques, Bouligand-type nanostructures are immobilized in self-supporting 3D constructs.
