Abstract (original English)
The three-dimensional (3D) printing of biomaterials, cells, and bioactive components, including growth factors, has gained interest among researchers in the field of tissue engineering (TE) with the aim of developing many scaffolds to sustain size, shape fidelity, and structure and retain viable cells inside a network. The biocompatible hydrogel employed in 3D printing should be soft enough to accommodate cell survival. At the same time, the gel should be mechanically strong to avoid the leakage of cells into the surrounding medium. Considering these basic criteria, researchers have developed nanocomposite-based printable inks with suitable mechanical and electroconductive properties. These nanomaterials, including carbon family nanomaterials, transition metal dichalcogenides, and polymeric nanoparticles, act as nanofillers and dissipate stress across polymeric networks through their electroactive interactions. Nanofiber-reinforced printable ink is one kind of nanocomposite-based ink that comprises dispersed nanofiber components in a hydrogel matrix. In this current review, we compile various TE applications of nanofiber-reinforced printable ink and describe the 3D-printing parameters, classification, and impact of cross-linkage. Furthermore, we discuss the challenges and future perspectives in this field.
