Abstract
In this study we explore the manufacture of polymer based, 3D structures for neuronal guidance made by direct laser writing (DLW). This technique enables the optimisation of the support structure via utilising Computer Aided Design and Manufacturing (CAD/CAM). The mechanical and chemical properties can be tuned via custom made polymer constructs. We present results on the polymer synthesis, DLW structuring, neuronal cell culture and guidance which provides a proof-of-concept for these scaffolds for use in peripheral neural biohybrid devices.
