Haven't backed any projects yet!
After drawing our fibers, we tested the ability of muscle to grow on them. We found that the gelatin fibers quickly dissolved in media so we cross linked them with microbial transglutaminase (mTG)....
Two variations of protein fibers were produced: gelatin and zein.We developed fibers comprised of gelatin and glycerol at ratios of 70:30 and 50:50, respectively, by weight. Gelatin is a protein ob...
We made several more modifications to the thermal drawing device. After setting the PID temperature >150 degrees Celsius, we noticed that the 3D printed PLA preform holder was softening and warp...
We have been working on our thermal drawing device and have recently tested it to thermally draw fibers.Here's how we constructed it:The elements of the heating system are displayed above. The heat...
We are very excited to have launched yesterday and finally present our project to the world. To start off our Lab Notes, we wanted to post a simple graphical representation of how our project conne...
