논문초록 Natural tissues in the human body have various structural characteristics, among which the structural features of the anisotropy are unique. Tendons and ligaments particularly have oriented anisotropic structural properties for transfer and control of force. Furthermore, these tissues with anisotropic structure have high mechanical properties owing to their hierarchical structural properties. To mimic tendons or ligaments using biomaterials, the excellent mechanical properties and the anisotropic structural properties should be achieved at the same time, which remains highly challenging. In this talk, I will introduce our recent achievements for fabricating anisotropic hydrogels with superior mechanical properties that are reminiscent of tendons or ligaments.
