Researchers at Northwestern University in the US say they have printed the first biocompatible 3D graphene-based composite from liquid ink. The 3D structure is strong and flexible with electrical conductivities of 800 S/m, which is 10 times higher than previously reported values for 3D printed carbon materials. The composite also appears to help regenerate damaged nerve and cardiac tissue – without the need for added neurogenic factors or other external stimuli. It could thus be ideal in complex tissue engineering and regenerative medicine, as well as for making implantable electronics and biosensors…..
