3D-printable biodegradable hybrids based on ABA-triblock copolymers synthesised by RAFT polymerisation

Year: 2026

Type: article

Abstract: New organic–inorganic hybrids based on triblock copolymers (by RAFT polymerisation) were 3D printed via direct ink writing. Scaffolds featuring interconnected pores (∼250–300 µm) demonstrated high mechanical strength and ∼23% degradation in 2 months.
