Direct printing of functional 3D objects using polymerization-induced phase separation

3D printing has enabled materials, geometries and functional properties to be combined in unique ways but printing multiple materials remains challenging. Here, the authors demonstrate how spatial distribution of different material phases can be modulated by controlling the kinetics of gelation, cro...
