Cover Story: Three-dimensional printing of hydroxypropyl cellulose (HPC) often results in small, structurally unstable objects over time. However, methacrylic grafting on HPC significantly enhances its UV reactivity and printability. By blending methacrylated HPC with unmodified HPC, the stability of printed structures is greatly improved, enabling the fabrication of larger scale, mechanically robust objects via direct ink writing under UV light. This approach enhances precision and performance in additive manufacturing while ensuring environmental sustainability. By bridging the gap between scalability and material stability, this study opens new possibilities in eco-friendly product development. View this paper
