Abstract

Abstract In recent days, additive manufacturing technologies (AMT) based on photopolymerization have also found application in tissue engineering. Although acrylates and methacrylates have excellent photoreactivity and afford photopolymers with good mechanical properties, their cytotoxicity and degradation products disqualify them from medical use. Within this work,(meth) acrylate-based monomers were replaced by vinyl ...
