Recent advances in additive manufacturing, specifically direct ink writing (DIW) and ink-jetting, have enabled the production of elastomeric silicone parts with deterministic control over the structure, shape, and mechanical properties. These new technologies offer rapid prototyping advantages and find applications in various fields, including biomedical devices, prosthetics, metamaterials, and soft robotics. Stereolithography (SLA) is a complementary approach with the ability to print with finer features and potentially higher throughput. However, all high-performance silicone elastomers are composites of polysiloxane networks reinforced with particulate filler, and consequently, silicone resins tend to have high viscosities (gel- or paste-like), which complicates or completely inhibits the layer-by-layer recoating process central to most SLA technologies. Herein, the design and build of a digital light projection SLA printer suitable for handling high-viscosity resins is demonstrated. Further, a series of UV-curable silicone resins with thiol-ene crosslinking and reinforced by a combination of fumed silica and MQ resins are also described. The resulting silicone elastomers are shown to have tunable mechanical properties, with 100–350% elongation and ultimate tensile strength from 1 to 2.5 MPa. Three-dimensional printed features of 0.4 mm were achieved, and complexity is demonstrated by octet-truss lattices that display negative stiffness.

This study investigated the efficiency of a cellular therapy with mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) cultured in an hyaluronic acid-based hydrogel on growth of abdominal aortic aneurysms (AAA) obtained in the rat xenograft model. The experimental model was devoted to create an AAA at D14 after grafting of a decellularized abdominal aorta obtained from guinea pigs before being transplanted into rats. At D21, geometrical measurements as radius and length of AAA were performed on untreated ([Formula: see text]) and treated ([Formula: see text]) arteries. When compared to different cases, it was shown that the proposed cellular treatment significantly reduced the expansion of radius and length of AAA. Furthermore, to explore the mechanical properties change of the arterial wall, an inverse finite element method was performed where AAA is represented by an elliptical geometry with varying thicknesses. To identify the material parameters, the AAA tissue was assumed to behave isochoric and isotropic undergoing large strains and described by the Yeoh’s strain energy function. Although limitations exist in this study such as the time of the experimental protocol, the isotropic behavior law of the AAA wall and the axisymmetric geometry of the artery, the results revealed that arterial wall stiffness change and the maximum effective stress decreased during expansion of AAA when cellular treatment is applied.
