Abstract
In order to develop a new mechanical material by using liposomes and gels, we are attempting to encapsulate gels into liposomes using the Droplet-Shooting method. We have adopted "gelatin" and "shape-memory gel" as the inner materials of liposomes to make liposome reinforce because liposome is too soft to use as a mechanical material. Both types of gels make it difficult to form the liposome. Therefore, we investigated the effect of the gel on the formation of the liposome. We also developed a 3D printer for the Liposome-Gel composite systems as a first step to use liposomes, which have been used as Drug Delivery System (DDS) and cell models, as a mechanical material. We believe that this will enable us to discover the potential of artificial living tissues as mechanical materials.
