3Dprinting dissolved algal polymers in water with a solution of calcium chloride.

The team dissolved the algal polymers in water to form viscous liquids, which are then combined with a solution of calcium chloride. The positively charged calcium ions join together the negatively charged portions of various polymer strands, linking the polymers and turning the liquid inks into pliable gels that hold their shapes.
