A PED (precision extrusion deposition)/replica molding process enables scaffold guided tissue engineering of a heterocellular microfluidic device. We investigate two types of cell-laden devices: the first with a 3D microfluidic manifold fully embedded in a PDMS (polydimethylsiloxane) substrate and the second a channel network on the surface of the PDMS substrate for cell printing directly into device channels. Fully embedded networks are leak-resistant with simplified construction methods. Channels exposed to the surface are used as mold to hold bioprinted cell-laden matrix for controlled cell placement throughout the network from inlet to outlet. The result is a 3D cell-laden microfluidic device with improved leak-resistance (up to 2.0 mL/min), pervasive diffusion and control of internal architecture.

Processing carbon fiber reinforced thermoplastic parts includes heating to form the thermoplastic matrix. The needed heat can be applied externally or internally to the preform. One possibility to generate intrinsic heat involves the use of carbon fibers as a resistive element to induce joule heat. So far, most research efforts have been based on contacting continuous carbon fibers on both ends to melt the thermoplastic matrix of a pre-impregnated preform. The objective of this project is to use a dry hybrid yarn textile in a one-step process to impregnate and rapidly consolidate the dry textile in less than a minute. The desired molding process is based on joule heating of carbon fibers due to an applied current in the transverse fiber direction. This article focuses on the detection of the involved macroscopic parameters. The first composites produced by means of this new method exhibit a high potential with heating times of 15 s, a void fraction below 1%, and flexural properties comparable to the state of the art.
