These unique properties give rise to the use of IPNs in a variety of applications including drug delivery, tissue engineering scaffolds, and as actuators in soft robotics. This thesis reports two separate applications of IPNs where 3D printing could prove useful. The first study focuses on the use of an alginate-polyacrylamide IPN hydrogel as a potential material for use in a medical simulator. The chemistry of a previously reported biomimetic IPN was altered so that 3D printing could be achieved. The elastic and viscoelastic behaviors of the 3D printed IPNs were quantified and found to be on the range of various biological tissues. The second study focuses on the development of a PVDF-poly(glycidyl methacrylate-co-methyl methacrylate) IPN as a separator membrane in a flexible lithium ion battery. A second polymer network was added to a preexisting separator formulation to create a semi-IPN. This separator membrane was characterized with dissolution tests, tensile mechanical tests, and rheology. 2016-12-02 English text Miami University / OhioLINK http://rave.ohiolink.edu/etdc/view?acc_num=miami1480691403334901 http://rave.ohiolink.edu/etdc/view?acc_num=miami1480691403334901 unrestricted This thesis or dissertation is protected by copyright: all rights reserved.
