    Advanced Healthcare Materials, 2025
    Tendon injuries pose significant clinical challenges due to complex structure and limited healing capacity. Decellularized Extracellular Matrix (dECM) offers a promising solution by replicating the native tendon microenvironment and promoting regeneration. This review summarizes the role of Extracellular Matrix (ECM), ongoing trends in the decellularization methods, as well as their integration with emerging technologies such as 3D printing, hybrid composite scaffold and hydrogels. Preclinical results and translational challenges are discussed. Overall, the review on the dECM‐based scaffold strategies offer a compelling overview in understanding the tendon tissue engineering and their potential for clinical translation.

  • The Impact of Particle Size and Surface Treatment of Zirconia Suspension for Photocuring Additive Manufacturing
    Mee-Jin Jun, Jin-Ho Kang, Kumaresan Sakthiabirami, Seyed Aliakbar Hosseini Toopghara, Ye-Seul Kim, et al.
    Materials, 2023
    To prepare a photocurable ceramic suspension for use in commercialized additive manufacturing equipment, the effects of the rheological properties of zirconia particles added to a binder, and the presence or absence of a silane coupling agent on the particles was evaluated. To this end, three experimental groups (ZSs, ZMs, ZLs) and three control groups (ZS, ZM, ZL) were designed depending on the size of the underlying zirconia particles. The test-group zirconia suspensions were prepared through silanization, which was not applied to the control-group suspensions. Depending on the particle size, viscosity differences between the test and control groups were 16,842, 18,623, and 12,303 mPa·s, respectively. Compared to the other groups, the viscosity of the ZLs group suspension decreased by 70.98–88.04%. This confirmed that the viscosity of the suspensions was affected by the particle size and the presence of silane coating. The dispersion stability of the zirconia suspensions was evaluated over 20 days. A sedimentation test confirmed that the sedimentation rate of the ZLs group was slower than those of the other groups. This study aimed to optimize the suspension manufacturing method to effectively be utilized in further commercializing zirconia three-dimensional (3D) printing and could also help to develop various medical applications.

  • Effects of UV Absorber on Zirconia Fabricated with Digital Light Processing Additive Manufacturing
    Jin-Ho Kang, Kumaresan Sakthiabirami, Hyun-Ah Kim, Seyed Aliakbar Hosseini Toopghara, Mee-Jin Jun, et al.
    Materials, 2022
    This study evaluated the effect of UV absorbers on the dimensional accuracy of zirconia specimens fabricated by additive manufacturing using a digital light process. Zirconia suspension for additive manufacturing was prepared by setting the volume fractions (0, 0.005, 0.05, and 0.1%) of various UV absorbers. The effect of UV absorber content was evaluated through curing thickness, geometric overgrowth model design, linear deviation, and microstructure evaluation before and after sintering. Statistical analysis was performed by Kruskal–Wallis H and post-tested by the Bonferroni correction method. There was no significant difference in the cure depth according to the presence or absence of the UV absorber, the difference in geometric overgrowth was from 2.1 to 12.5%, and the overgrowth significantly decreased as the amount of added UV absorber increased. This result may contribute to improved precision of 3D multilayer ceramic products.
  • Aqueous Rechargeable Zn/ZnO Battery Based on Deposition/Dissolution Chemistry
    Vaiyapuri Soundharrajan, Jun Lee, Seokhun Kim, Dimas Yunianto Putro, Seulgi Lee, et al.
    Molecules, 2022
    Recently, a novel electrochemical regulation associated with a deposition/dissolution reaction on an electrode surface has been proven to show superiority in large-scale energy storage systems (ESSs). Hence, in the search for high-performance electrodes showcasing these novel regulations, we utilized a low-cost ZnO microsphere electrode to construct aqueous rechargeable batteries (ARBs) that supplied a harvestable and storable charge through electrochemical deposition/dissolution via a reversible manganese oxidation reaction (MOR)/manganese reduction reaction (MRR), respectively, induced by the inherent formation/dissolution of zinc basic sulfate in a mild aqueous electrolyte solution containing 2 M ZnSO4 and 0.2 M MnSO4.

  • Evaluation of Physical Properties of Zirconia Suspension with Added Silane Coupling Agent for Additive Manufacturing Processes

    Materials, 2022
    In this study, we have analysed the effects of a silane coupling agent on the volume fraction of zirconia for digital light processing (DLP)-based additive manufacturing processes. Zirconia suspension was prepared by the incorporation of silane-modified zirconia particles (experimental group) or untreated zirconia particles (control group). Furthermore, the control and experimental group were subdivided into three groups based on the volume fraction (52, 54, and 56 vol%) of zirconia particles. The disk-shaped zirconia samples were 3D (three-dimensional) printed using the DLP technique and their physical and mechanical properties were evaluated. The addition of a silane coupling agent to the zirconia samples was found to have influence of about 6% on the hardness and biaxial flexural strength. Moreover, the decrease in minute air gaps inside the zirconia layers significantly increased the material density (visualized from the microstructure analysis). Thus, from this study, it was established that the silane-modified zirconia particles had a positive effect on the physical properties of the zirconia parts.
