We present for the first time approaches to 3D-printing of nanocellulose hydrogel scaffolds
based on double crosslinking, first by in situ Ca2+ crosslinking and post-printing by chemical
crosslinking with 1, 4-butanediol diglycidyl ether (BDDE). Scaffolds were successfully
printed from 1% nanocellulose hydrogels, with their mechanical strength being tunable in
the range of 3 to 8 kPa. Cell tests suggest that the 3D-printed and BDDE-crosslinked

We present for the first time approaches to 3D-printing of nanocellulose hydrogel scaffolds based on double crosslinking, first by in situ Ca2+ crosslinking and post-printing by chemical crosslinking with 1,4-butanediol diglycidyl ether (BDDE). Scaffolds were successfully printed from 1% nanocellulose hydrogels, with their mechanical strength being tunable in the range of 3 to 8 kPa. Cell tests suggest that the 3D-printed and BDDE-crosslinked nanocellulose hydrogel scaffolds supported fibroblast cells’ proliferation, which was improving with increasing rigidity. These 3D-printed scaffolds render nanocellulose a new member of the family of promising support structures for crucial cellular processes during wound healing, regeneration and tissue repair.
