A gel microparticle-based self-thickening strategy for 3D printing high-modulus hydrogels skeleton cushioned with PNAGA hydrogel mimicking anisotropic mechanics of meniscus

Developing a meniscus substitute mimicking the anisotropic mechanics (higher circumferential tensile modulus and lower compressive modulus) of native tissue remains a great challenge. In this work, based on the pendant group structure-dependent H-bonding strengthening mechanism, two kinds of amide-b...
