A 3D Interconnected Microchannel Network Formed in Gelatin by Sacrificial Shellac Microfibers

3D microfluidic networks are fabricated in a gelatin hydrogel using sacrificial melt-spun microfibers made from a material with pH-dependent solubility. The fibers, after being embedded within the gel, can be removed by changing the gel pH to induce dissolution. This process is performed in an entir...
