Development of biocompatible magnetic resin for 3D printing

The goal of this project is to fabricate biocompatible, magnetic inks for 3D printing of structures that offer controlled motion by weak magnetic fields for various medical benefits such as increased imaging contrast, magnetic guidance and positioning of the structures. This has potential applications in regenerative medicine, such as smart implants, 3D printing of tissue implants, but also soft biohybrid actuators in robotics.
