Abstract

This study presents a short overview of the main 3D polymer composite items that are fabricated by extrusion and stereolithography printing. By coupling polymers traditionally used in additive manufacturing, such as PEGDA, and polymers of biomedical interest, such as PVA, with carbon nanostructures, such as nanodiamond and graphene nanoplates, and conductive polymers, such as PEDOT and PANI, it has been possible to produce objects with specific functional properties exploited for fabricating scaffolds for cell growth and proliferation as well as soft electrodes for developing organic compounds sensing devices and electrocardiogram monitoring systems under real-time conditions.
