A Circuit Made up of Cellulose and Carbon Nanotubes, Printed using a 3-D Bioprinter

Caption

The circuit in the form of a tree is made up of cellulose, which has been made electronically conductive by means of carbon nanotubes, and printed using the 3-D bioprinter at Chalmers University of Technology. Forest commodities provide new, environmentally friendly materials that can be used within the field of additive manufacturing.
