Tear-tensile-strength study of biomimetic photo-elastomers

Tissue Engineering Technology makes an enormous progress in generation of biology scaffolds with functionality resembling the ones we find in the natural ideals. One of the major task is still (and will be) to exchange within the 3D generated scaffolds toxic waste-products with nutrition and oxygen. Artificial Blood vessel were materialized by light based rapid prototyping methods in several projects and the material basis used in this manufacturing processes (e.g. STL, DPL, MPP) are functionalized acrylate and its derivate that suffer from (intrinsic) poor tear-tensile-strength.
