Granular hydrogels’ unique properties are influenced by individual particle interactions. Shown here is the bottom layer of a packed granular hydrogel, comprising particles of ~200 µm diameter. The interstitial space is illuminated with a large FITC-dextran probe that cannot penetrate the microgels. These soft hydrogel microparticles, or microgels, may deform when packed or when subjected to flow, such as when extruded for 3D printing applications. Image provided by Gunnar Thompson.
