Controlled molecular self-assembly of complex three-dimensional structures in soft materials by Huang, Changjin, Quinn, David, Suresh, Subra, Hsia, K. Jimmy

“…Our strategy effectively utilizes the three essential components dictating living tissue morphogenesis to produce complex 3D architectures: modulation of local chemistry, material transport, and mechanics, which can be engineered by controlling the local distribution of polymerization inhibitor (i.e., oxygen), diffusion of monomers/cross-linkers through the porous structures of cross-linked polymer network, and mechanical constraints, respectively. …”
