Three-dimensional (3D) printing is classified as a revolutionary, disruptive manufacturing technology. Cellulose (the most abundant natural polymer) and its many derivatives have been widely studied for many applications. The combination of 3D printing with cellulose-based feedstocks is therefore of critical interest. This review highlights many studies on 3D printing applications of plant-derived cellulose and its derivatives. Potential materials include cellulose ethers/esters,...

The development of novel biomedical materials for practical and clinical applications, such as drug carriers, biocompatible tissue or organ substitute materials, repair and regeneration biomaterials, etc., is always a most concerned topic for biologists and material scientists. Many natural materials have been used as biomedical materials to replace traditional organic synthetic materials. More
