Despite this gap in the field, minimally invasive surgical procedures are increasing in frequency across multiple fields of medicine due to lower operational costs, shorter length of stay, less adverse events and in turn lower reimbursement costs. To fully address these concerns devices need to be produced that model the complex mechanics of soft tissue. Using synthetic polymers is advantageous as they can be rationally designed for the treatment of a range of target tissues via alterations in their underlying chemistry to impart the mechanical properties desired for specific applications.\u003C\/p\u003E\r\n\r\n\u003Cp\u003EThe chemistry of synthetic polymers can be readily tuned to 3D print these materials, which provides the ability to manufacture patient-specific devices replicating complex geometries that cannot be produced through traditional manufacturing methods. In addition this biomaterial must be biocompatible, biodegradable, and should be cell adhesive to promote tissue infiltration into the implant in order to improve healing outcomes for the damaged region being targeted for treatment. Finally, materials used in minimally invasive procedures require shape memory attributes in order to initially fit in a delivery device and, ultimately upon implantation, expand to address the tissue pathology. Poly(glycerol-dodecanoate) (PGD), a biodegradable shape memory polymer developed by our lab, is well positioned for this application. The goals of this work are to 1. develop and characterize photocurable PGD through acrylation chemistry, 2. 3D print PGD using nozzle-based and LCD print modalities, and 3. measure the inflammatory response and changes in material properties of PGD samples after \u003Cem\u003Ein vivo\u003C\/em\u003E subcutaneous implantation.\u003C\/p\u003E\r\n\r\n\u003Cp\u003E\u0026nbsp;\u003C\/p\u003E\r\n\r\n\u003Cp\u003E\u0026nbsp;\u003C\/p\u003E\r\n\r\n\u003Cp\u003EBlue Jeans Meeting URL\u003C\/p\u003E\r\n\r\n\u003Cp\u003E\u003Ca href=\u0022https:\/\/bluejeans.com\/734719517?src=join_info\u0022 id=\u0022LPlnk957904\u0022\u003Ehttps:\/\/bluejeans.com\/734719517?src=join_info\u003C\/a\u003E\u0026nbsp;\u003C\/p\u003E\r\n\r\n\u003Cp\u003E\u0026nbsp;\u003C\/p\u003E\r\n\r\n\u003Cp\u003EMeeting ID\u003C\/p\u003E\r\n\r\n\u003Cp\u003E734 719 517\u003C\/p\u003E\r\n\r\n\u003Cp\u003E\u0026nbsp;\u003C\/p\u003E\r\n\r\n\u003Cp\u003EWant to dial in from a phone?\u003C\/p\u003E\r\n\r\n\u003Cp\u003EDial one of the following numbers:\u003C\/p\u003E\r\n\r\n\u003Cp\u003E+1.408.740.7256 (US (San Jose))\u003C\/p\u003E\r\n\r\n\u003Cp\u003E+1.408.317.9253 (US (Primary, San Jose))\u003C\/p\u003E\r\n\r\n\u003Cp\u003E(see all numbers - \u003Ca href=\u0022https:\/\/www.bluejeans.com\/premium-numbers\u0022 id=\u0022LPlnk384740\u0022\u003Ehttps:\/\/www.bluejeans.com\/premium-numbers\u003C\/a\u003E)\u003C\/p\u003E\r\n\r\n\u003Cp\u003E\u0026nbsp;\u003C\/p\u003E\r\n\r\n\u003Cp\u003EEnter the meeting ID and passcode followed by #\u003C\/p\u003E\r\n\r\n\u003Cp\u003E\u0026nbsp;\u003C\/p\u003E\r\n\r\n\u003Cp\u003EConnecting from a room system?\u003C\/p\u003E\r\n\r\n\u003Cp\u003EDial: bjn.vc or 199.48.152.152 and enter your meeting ID \u0026amp; passcode\u0026nbsp;\u003C\/p\u003E\r\n\r\n\u003Cp\u003E\u0026nbsp;\u003C\/p\u003E\r\n","summary":null,"format":"limited_html"}],"field_subtitle":"","field_summary":"","field_summary_sentence":[{"value":"Development and Characterization of the 3D Printed Biodegradable and Shape Memory Polymer Poly(glycerol dodecanoate) for Soft Tissue Reconstruction "}],"uid":"27707","created_gmt":"2020-02-19 21:04:41","changed_gmt":"2020-02-19 21:04:41","author":"Tatianna Richardson","boilerplate_text":"","field_publication":"","field_article_url":"","field_event_time":{"event_time_start":"2020-03-03T11:00:00-05:00","event_time_end":"2020-03-03T13:00:00-05:00","event_time_end_last":"2020-03-03T13:00:00-05:00","gmt_time_start":"2020-03-03 16:00:00","gmt_time_end":"2020-03-03 18:00:00","gmt_time_end_last":"2020-03-03 18:00:00","rrule":null,"timezone":"America\/New_York"},"extras":[],"groups":[{"id":"221981","name":"Graduate Studies"}],"categories":[],"keywords":[{"id":"102851","name":"Phd proposal"}],"core_research_areas":[],"news_room_topics":[],"event_categories":[{"id":"1788","name":"Other\/Miscellaneous"}],"invited_audience":[{"id":"78761","name":"Faculty\/Staff"},{"id":"78771","name":"Public"},{"id":"174045","name":"Graduate students"},{"id":"78751","name":"Undergraduate students"}],"affiliations":[],"classification":[],"areas_of_expertise":[],"news_and_recent_appearances":[],"phone":[],"contact":[],"email":[],"slides":[],"orientation":[],"userdata":""}}}
