Various hydrogel systems have been developed as biomaterial inks for bioprinting, including natural and synthetic polymers. However, the available biomaterial inks, which allow printability, cell viability, and user-defined customization, remains limited. Incorporation of biological extracellular matrix materials into tunable synthetic polymers can merge the benefits of both systems towards versatile materials for biofabrication. The aim of this study was to develop novel, cell compatible dual-component biomaterial inks and bioinks based on poly(vinyl alcohol) (PVA) and solubilized decellularized cartilage matrix (SDCM) hydrogels that can be utilized for cartilage bioprinting. In a first approach, PVA was modified with amine groups (PVA-A), and mixed with SDCM. The printability of the PVA-A/SDCM formulations cross-linked by genipin was evaluated. On the second approach, the PVA was functionalized with cis-5-norbornene-endo-2,3-dicarboxylic anhydride (PVA-Nb) to allow an ultrafast light-curing thiol-ene cross-linking. Comprehensive experiments were conducted to evaluate the influence of the SDCM ratio in mechanical properties, water uptake, swelling, cell viability, and printability of the PVA-based formulations. The studies performed with the PVA-A/SDCM formulations cross-linked by genipin showed printability, but poor shape retention due to slow cross-linking kinetics. On the other hand, the PVA-Nb/SDCM showed good printability. The results showed that incorporation of SDCM into PVA-Nb reduces the compression modulus, enhance cell viability, and bioprintability and modulate the swelling ratio of the resulted hydrogels. Results indicated that PVA-Nb hydrogels containing SDCM could be considered as versatile bioinks for cartilage bioprinting.

The presence of nanoscale cellulosic fiber; namely cellulose nanofiber, increases year by year because the mechanical and physical properties are believed to be comparable to those of common glass fibers. On the other hand, most of the reported strength data for the cellulose nanofiber-reinforced polymeric composite materials was not as high as expected. In order to obtain high-strength cellulose nanofiber-reinforced polymer composites, we tried to optimize the fiber orientation of cellulose nanofibers in poly (vinyl alcohol)-based polymer matrix by using a repeated mechanical stretching treatment. The fiber orientation of cellulose nanofibers in the poly (vinyl alcohol) matrix can be modified by changing the total amount of stretching strain applied during the multiple stretching treatments. The degree of fiber alignment was directly evaluated by observing the cellulose nanofibers on the sample surface with a digital microscope. The efficacy of proposed nanofiber alignment control has been explored experimentally and theoretically. The tensile strength and modulus of the cellulosic nanocomposites after applying the multiple stretching treatments increased by approximately 80% and 40% respectively, as compared with those of the untreated nanocomposites.
