Examples range from the cellulose-based organic structure of plants to collagen-based skeletal parts like bone\, t eeth and cartilage. Because they are often utilized to combine opposing pr operties such as strength and low-density or stiffness and wear resistance \, the heterogeneous architecture of natural materials can potentially add ress several of the technical limitations of artificial implants or compos ites in general. However\, current man-made manufacturing technologies do not allow for the level of composition and fiber orientation control found in natural heterogeneous systems. In this talk\, I will show that 3D prin ting routes using self-assembly inks offer an exciting pathway for the fab rication of biologically-inspired materials with unprecedented heterogeneo us architectures and functional properties.\n\nHave questions?
