hi. I am no scientist but just very curious. I have seen and read some material about ionoprinting. my questions are: - Does the solid state that result from putting a current through the hydrogel is strong enough to support some forces applied onto it(or just like playdough and maleable?) - can we just reverse the current to have the hydrogel taking back its original consistency/shape? - Can the process be repeated unlimited amount of times without degeneration of the product? thanks.
