  • Structure and method for promoting microalgae growth
    Patent number: 12167720
    Abstract: An artificial structure for promoting microalgae growth includes a 3D-printed structure formed by positioning a printing surface on a movable stage of a 3D bioprinter in contact with a bio-ink that includes a mixture of a pre-polymer material with one or more of cellulose-derived nanocrystals (CNC), and microalgae cells. By projecting modulated light onto the printing surface while moving the stage, the bio-ink is progressively polymerized to define layers of an artificial coral structure with microalgae cells disposed thereon, where the artificial coral structure is configured to scatter light within the structure.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: August 28, 2020
    Date of Patent: December 17, 2024
    Assignee: The Regents of the University of California
    Inventors: Shaochen Chen, Dimitri Deheyn, Shangting You, Daniel Wangpraseurt, Silvia Vignolini
  • High-fidelity 3D printing using flashing photopolymerization
    Patent number: 11833742
    Abstract: A method and system for microscale 3D printing achieve high-fidelity fabrication through the control of the light exposure time. A single pulse of light is used to initiate polymerization of a pre-polymer solution to minimize scattering-induced resolution deterioration. The printed object is fabricated in a layer-by-layer construction where each layer is formed through exposure to a single light pulse.
