Provided herein are methods, compositions, devices, and systems for the 3D printing of biomedical implants. In particular, methods and systems are provided for 3D printing of biomedical devices (e.g., endovascular stents) using photo-curable biomaterial inks (e.g., or methacrylated poly(diol citrate)).

3D printing of biomedical implants

Provided herein are compositions, devices, and systems comprising copolymers of an N-alkyl acrylamide residue and a polyester comprising citric acid, polyethylene glycol, and glycerol 1,3-diglycerolate diacrylate, and methods of use and manufacture thereof.

Injectable thermoresponsive polyelectrolytes

Provided herein are compositions comprising panthenol-citrate containing materials. In particular, panthenol citrate compounds, oligomers, and polymers, and methods of use and synthesis thereof, are provided herein. Panthenol-citrate containing materials are a class of nontoxic, photoluminescent-chromophore-containing compounds, oligomers, and polymers with high absorption in the UVA and UVB range that can be incorporated and/or engineered into a variety of optically-active biomaterials (e.g., sunscreen products).

Photoluminescent panthenol citrate biomaterials

Provided herein are compositions, devices and systems comprising thermoresponsive, biodegradable elastomeric materials, and methods of use and manufacture thereof.
