This biomaterial ink leverages a new class of 2D nanomaterials known as molybdenum disulfide (MoS2). The thin-layered structure of MoS2 contains defect centers to make it chemically active and, combined with modified gelatin to obtain a flexible hydrogel, is comparable to the structure of Jell-O.","breadcrumb":{"@id":"https:\/\/facfox.com\/news\/wearable-biomaterial-inks-developed-by-researchers-bioprinting\/#breadcrumb"},"inLanguage":"en-US","potentialAction":[{"@type":"ReadAction","target":["https:\/\/facfox.com\/news\/wearable-biomaterial-inks-developed-by-researchers-bioprinting\/"]}]},{"@type":"ImageObject","inLanguage":"en-US","@id":"https:\/\/facfox.com\/news\/wearable-biomaterial-inks-developed-by-researchers-bioprinting\/#primaryimage","url":"https:\/\/facfox.com\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/08\/5453bfb6ae7edfc93022ecfc3456a275.jpg","contentUrl":"https:\/\/facfox.com\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/08\/5453bfb6ae7edfc93022ecfc3456a275.jpg","width":780,"height":470},{"@type":"BreadcrumbList","@id":"https:\/\/facfox.com\/news\/wearable-biomaterial-inks-developed-by-researchers-bioprinting\/#breadcrumb","itemListElement":[{"@type":"ListItem","position":1,"name":"Home","item":"https:\/\/facfox.com\/news\/"},{"@type":"ListItem","position":2,"name":"Wearable biomaterial inks developed by researchers Bioprinting"}]},{"@type":"WebSite","@id":"https:\/\/facfox.com\/news\/#website","url":"https:\/\/facfox.com\/news\/","name":"FacFox News","description":"News and Insights of 3D Printing and Manufacturing","publisher":{"@id":"https:\/\/facfox.com\/news\/#organization"},"potentialAction":[{"@type":"SearchAction","target":{"@type":"EntryPoint","urlTemplate":"https:\/\/facfox.com\/news\/?s={search_term_string}"},"query-input":{"@type":"PropertyValueSpecification","valueRequired":true,"valueName":"search_term_string"}}],"inLanguage":"en-US"},{"@type":"Organization","@id":"https:\/\/facfox.com\/news\/#organization","name":"FacFox News","url":"https:\/\/facfox.com\/news\/","logo":{"@type":"ImageObject","inLanguage":"en-US","@id":"https:\/\/facfox.com\/news\/#\/schema\/logo\/image\/","url":"https:\/\/facfox.com\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/11\/facfox-news-homepg-logo-200px.png","contentUrl":"https:\/\/facfox.com\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/11\/facfox-news-homepg-logo-200px.png","width":200,"height":55,"caption":"FacFox News"},"image":{"@id":"https:\/\/facfox.com\/news\/#\/schema\/logo\/image\/"}},{"@type":"Person","@id":"https:\/\/facfox.com\/news\/#\/schema\/person\/7b701aad2d8f434034fcecd2c50a570c","name":"Vera","image":{"@type":"ImageObject","inLanguage":"en-US","@id":"https:\/\/secure.gravatar.com\/avatar\/bf3b1e47e1f0ed2367da10e343584d5a4adb2e9675fce2aefb04f0ecf3954386?s=96&d=mm&r=g","url":"https:\/\/secure.gravatar.com\/avatar\/bf3b1e47e1f0ed2367da10e343584d5a4adb2e9675fce2aefb04f0ecf3954386?s=96&d=mm&r=g","contentUrl":"https:\/\/secure.gravatar.com\/avatar\/bf3b1e47e1f0ed2367da10e343584d5a4adb2e9675fce2aefb04f0ecf3954386?s=96&d=mm&r=g","caption":"Vera"},"url":"https:\/\/facfox.com\/news\/author\/vera\/"}]}},"fifu_image_url":"\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/08\/8904421935079947194.jpeg","_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/facfox.com\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/191970","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/facfox.com\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/facfox.com\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/facfox.com\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/3"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/facfox.com\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=191970"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/facfox.com\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/191970\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/facfox.com\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/191972"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/facfox.com\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=191970"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/facfox.com\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=191970"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/facfox.com\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=191970"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
