Influence of curing time on the experimental and numerical analysis of 3D printed gelatin methacryloyl (GELMA) membranes

Within this research, we leverage the digital light processing (DLP) printer to meticulously construct membranes with varying curing times: 25, 30, 35, 40, 50, 60, and 70 s. Our objective is to comprehensively examine the impact of curing time on a spectrum of attributes, including numerical analysis, mechanical properties, structural integrity, chemical composition, and degradation and swelling behaviours of the gelatin methacryloyl (GelMA) membranes. Through systematic analysis across all curing durations, this research aims to unravel the intricate relationship between curing time and the diverse properties exhibited by the fabricated membranes.
