The invention provides liquid compositions comprising conductive carbon particles and/or carbon nanoparticles, a thickening agent, and a solvent. The carbon nanoparticles are preferably a mixture of graphite nanoplatelets and carbon nanotubes and the thickening agent is preferably a cellulose derivative. The liquid compositions can be used as ink to print highly conductive films that adhere to paper substrates.

Catalyst ink may be directly printed to a substrate using a stamp. Printed catalyst ink may converted to a pattern of one or more metal traces. Materials for a stamp and/or a substrate, and/or components of a catalyst ink, may be selected based on attraction of one or more of components of the catalyst ink to one or more print surfaces of the substrate and/or to one or more write surfaces of the stamp.

The present invention relates to biomaterial in the form of dispersion of cellulose nanofibrils with extraordinary shear thinning properties which can be converted into desire 3D shape using 3D Bioprinting technology. In this invention cellulose nanofibril dispersion, is processed through different mechanical, enzymatic and chemical steps to yield dispersion with desired morphological and rheological properties to be used as bioink in 3D Bioprinter. The processes are followed by purification, adjusting of osmolarity of the material and sterilization to yield biomaterial which has cytocompatibility and can be combined with living cells. Cellulose nanofibrils can be produced by microbial process but can also be isolated from plant secondary or primary cell wall, animals such as tunicates, algae and fungi. The present invention describes applications of this novel cellulose nanofibrillar bioink for 3D Bioprinting of tissue and organs with desired architecture.

The present disclosure relates to a process to produce aqueous dispersions of graphene stabilized by cellulose, offering an alternative to the current methods of dispersion of graphene. The present process provides the advantages that it uses biodegradable cellulose compatible with the environment and can be used in industrial processes in alkaline medium or in the absence of alkali; and when graphene is stabilized with cellulose in alkaline medium it becomes unstable when in contact with natural waters, thus precipitating and being easily removed or concentrated. In other embodiments, solids obtained by drying of the dispersions, once dried, can be redispersed in aqueous alkaline solution.
