Abstract

Recently, three-dimensional (3D) printing (also known as additive manufacturing) has received unprecedented consideration in various fields owing to many advantages compared to conventional manufacturing equipment such as reduced fabrication time, one-step production, and the ability for rapid prototyping. This promising technology, as the next manufacturing revolution and universal industrial method, allows the user to fabricate desired 3D objects using a layer-by-layer deposition of material and a 3D printer. Alginate, a versatile polysaccharide derived from seaweed, is popularly used for this advanced bio-fabrication technique due to its printability, biodegradability, biocompatibility, excellent availability, low degree of toxicity, being a relatively inexpensive, rapid gelation in the presence of Ca 2+ divalent, and having fascinating chemical structure. In recent years, 3D printed alginate-based hydrogels have been prepared and used in various fields including tissue engineering, water treatment, food, electronics, and so forth. Due to the prominent role of 3D printed alginate-based materials in diverse fields. So, this review will focus and highlight the latest and most up-to-date achievements in the field of 3D printed alginate-based materials in biomedical, food, water treatment, and electronics.

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
