1 3D Designable Gel as an Advanced Functional Material - Digitalization of Engineering Matter based on 3D Printing and Scanning- Hidemitsu Furukawa Chair of Life-3D Prin0ng Innova0on Center (LPIC) PI of So8 & Wet ma<er Engineering Lab (SWEL) Department of Mechanical Systems Engineering Yamagata University furukawa@yz.yamagata-u.ac.jp Facebook:

2 Bathtub contains pre-gel solu3on of tough hydrogels (water > 90%). The minute fabrica3on is made by UV irradia3on thru op3cal fiber. Free shape fabrica3on is done by 3-dimen3onal scanning the fiber. R. Hidema, K. Sugita, H. Furukwa, Trans. J. Soc. Mech. Eng. (A), 77, (2011) H. Muroi, J. Gong, H. Furukawa, J. Solid Mech. Mater.

4 Human looks a swollen gel 2/3 of Water Human expressed in a water content Human expressed in the network of gels.

5 Living bodies are made from soft organisms except skeletons (bone, teeth, shell, etc.) Examples: blood vessel, muscle cartilage, tendon, ligament, etc. The soft organisms contain 50~80% of water. They are soft & wet materials.

6 Specific functions of soft and wet organs Joint cartilage Shock absorb Lubrication Low frictional coefficient ~0.001 Smooth motion Blood vessel Penetration Lubrication Exchange of materials Previous artificial organs have been made from Hard & Dry Materials: These functions cannot be worked. Artificial Joint Artificial Vessel Shock absorb Lubrication Limitation of motion Penetration Lubrication Thrombus (Blood clot)

7 DN ゲル : 世界一強い高含水材料 Water Content 90% Breaking Compression 40MPa J. P. Gong, Y. Katsuyama, T. Kurokawa, Y. Osada, Adv. Mater. 15, 1155 (2003)

8 DN gels fracture energy is 1,000 times higher <1 st > PAMPS <2 nd > PAAm Water content ~ 90% Compress fracture stress: 10-40MPa (Can compare with cartilage in joint) Electrolyte ( rigid & brittle ) Neutral ( soft & ductile ) PAMPS gel + PAAm gel = DN gel Fracture energy ~1J/m 2 + Fracture energy 10J/m 2 Fracture energy 100~1000J/m 2 Cannot be explained based on the previous theories J.-P. Gong, Y. Katsuyama, T. Kurokawa, Y. Osada, Adv. Mater. 15, 1155 (2003)

9 Figure out: Low frictional Tough gels Both Toughness 40MPa~400kgf/cm 2 and Low Friction µ 10-4 means 400kg 1cm 2 of the gel sheets withstatnds 400kg weight and move it by 40g force! 40g 1cm This situation corresponds to that of knee joint cartilage in our body.
