ABSTRACT The wearable and flexible pressure sensors have gained significant attention due to their capability of transducing the physical phenomena like temperature into electrical signals. This study assessed feasibility poly(L‐lactide) (PLA) nanocomposite films prepared by solvent evaporation method integrated it with knitted cotton fabric for sensing application. Multiwalled carbon nanotubes (MWCNT), graphene oxide (GO), black (CB) individually in a tri‐mixture were used as nanofillers improve conductivity 2 wt.% PLA film. increasing loadings nanomaterials (0.1–8 individual 1–5 tri‐mixture) improved films. For nanomaterials, followed order, MWCNT>GO>CB. resistivity PLA‐nanocomposite films, that is, MWCNT‐1 wt.%, GO‐6 CB‐8 was 0.733 ± 0.02 kΩ cm, 200 0.53 276.25 1.26 respectively, whereas neat film 1760 40 cm.

Abstract Hierarchical porous, bioactive, and biocompatible scaffolds with customizable multi‐functionality are promising alternatives for autografts allografts in bone tissue engineering. Combining high internal phase emulsion (HIPE) templating additive manufacturing provides possibilities to produce such multiscale porous scaffolds. 3D printing of HIPE remains a challenging task due the intense separation under shear extrusion reported printability (P r ) either less than or greater 1. Tuning viscoelastic properties is therefore required achieve P ≈1. This study addresses these issues by preparing Pickering HIPEs using dual networks synergistic viscous elastic properties, stabilized Cloisite 30B interphase. configuration enhances viscoelasticity achieves values close 1 (0.98–1.02). The printed exhibit trabecular bone‐like, hierarchical interconnected porosity (77%–86%). Computational simulations accurately predict mechanical, biological, degradation behavior.
