Development and characterisation of a photocurable alginate bioink for 3D bioprinting
Figure 4. (a) Non-functionalized alginate (2% w/v), (b) functionalized alginate (2% w/v) after 8 h of reaction, (c) functionalized alginate
(2% w/v) after 24 h of reaction. The functionalization is confirmed by the presence of new peaks in the spectra at 5.63 ppm and 6.09 ppm
attributed to the methylene group and a peak at 1.82 ppm that corresponds to the methyl group.
