Abstract
The study concerns the rapid development of precise, diverse-shaped hydrogel microfluidic structures utilizing CNT-based thermoresponsive effect. Biocompatible self-developed polymer compositions were prepared for the additive manufacturing of hydrogel matrices. Concurrently, 3D-printed structures covered with CNTs were fabricated in the form of heaters to imprint microfluidic channels into the hydrogel matrices. The experiments resulted in the precise formation of channels within the hydrogels, which is essential for further research in microfluidics and biomedical studies.
