The present invention relates to preparation and use of biocompatible and electrically conductive 3D hydrogels comprising nanocellulose fibrils, such as disintegrated bacterial nanocellulose, plant derived nanocellulose, tunicate derived nanocellulose, or algae derived nanocellulose, together with carbon nanotubes or graphene oxide, as a biocompatible and conductive 3D hydrogel for diagnostics and intervention to mimic or restore tissue and organ function. Biocompatible conductive 3D hydrogels described in this invention can be extruded, casted or injected. The 3D hydrogels described in this invention are cohesive 3D structures and provide electrical conductivity in wet form. 3D hydrogels described in this invention can be further crosslinked using divalent ions such as Calcium ions which improve mechanical stability. Such crosslinking can take place in an animal or human body in a physiological environment after injection into the tissue. 3D hydrogels are biocompatible and show preferable mechanical properties and electrical conductivity through printed lines (4.10.sup.1 S cm.sup.1). The 3D hydrogels prepared by this invention are suited as bioassays to screen drugs against neurodegenerative diseases such as Alzheimer's and Parkinson's, study brain function, and/or be used to link the human brain with electronic and/or communication devices. They can also be injected to replace neural tissue or stimulate guiding of neural cells. They can also be used to inject into the heart and stimulate the heart by using electrical signaling or to repair myocardial infarction.

An ultraviolet curable ink composition for forming a bezel pattern of a foldable display substrate, methods of using the same, a bezel pattern formed from the same, and a foldable display substrate include the bezel pattern are disclosed herein. In some embodiments, an ultraviolet curable ink composition includes a black pigment, a dispersant, an alicyclic epoxy compound, an oxetane compound, a photosensitizer, a photopolymerization initiator, and an organic solvent, wherein a weight ratio of the photosensitizer to the photopolymerization initiator is 1:1 to 1:2, and a sum of the amounts of the photosensitizer and the photopolymerization initiator is 13 to 21 parts by weight based on 100 parts by weight of a sum of the amounts of the alicyclic epoxy compound and the oxetane compound. The ink composition is capable of forming a bezel pattern having a diminished thickness and excellent light blocking properties.

An article has a substrate and a pattern of a dry silver nanoparticle-containing composition comprising at least 20 weight % of one or more (a) polymers, that are cellulosic polymers; (d) silver nanoparticles having a mean particle size of 25-750 nm and present in an amount of 0.1-400 weight %, based on the total weight of the one or more (a) polymers; and (e) carbon black in an amount of 5-50 weight %, based on the total weight of the one or more (a) polymers.
