Introduction

This part is the link between our Biological work and the 3D printer. After we have produced our monomer molecules in E. coli and purified them subsequently, they need to be connected to short polymers, the prepolymers. Those fluid prepolymers are used in our 3D printer as a resin, the basis from which the final and hardened 3D structures emerge.

We used different monomers in varying proportions for produce the prepolymers. We’d be able to create a lot of alternative prepolymers with different physical properties. Those could be utilized to adjust the physical properties of the final polymers.
