We studied the structure-mechanical property relationship to demonstrate the highly tunable mechanical properties of printed porous PDMS via direct ink writing. To enable 3D printing, we develop a porous PDMS ink consisting of a PDMS precursor, silicone oil, dibutyl phthalate (DBP), and fumed silica nanoparticles by tuning the rheological behaviors. The rheological impact of each component was characterized by viscosity, storage modulus and loss modulus measurements. The porous structures in PDMS are subsequently generated by the removal of DBP in the cured PDMS matrix and characterized by scanning electron microscopy. Mechanical characterization exhibits that the printed sample using the porous PDMS precursor has enhanced stiffness, strength, toughness, and ductility compared to the nonporous PDMS sample. Notably, a broad range of mechanical properties is achieved by varying structural parameters (i.e. , infill densities and printing patterns) for 3D printing of a single porous PDMS material system, which provides insight for designing adaptive soft robots and actuators that can integrate different mechanical properties into a single device by simply changing the structural parameters.

Background: Due to the continuous demand for fish coupled with decline in capture fisheries, there is the need to increase aquaculture production to meet the demand. Aquaculture is faced with high cost of feeding since fish oil and fish meal are expensive. In view of this, there are calls to explore alternatives that are cheap and reliable. Objectives: This study on Oreochromis niloticus was conducted to evaluate the effects of replacing fish oil (FO) with palm oil (PO) at 0%, 25%, 50%, 75%, and 100% on muscle fatty acid and proximate composition as well as growthrelated enzyme activities and mRNA expression. Methods: Oreochromis niloticus were fed five experimental diets (33% crude protein and 10% crude lipid) for 8 weeks. Feed had variation in fish oil and palm oil contents. After the 8 weeks feeding trial, five fish were sampled from each tank (15 from each treatment) and euthanized using an excess dose of tricaine methane sulfonate (MS- 222 at 200 mg/L). Fatty acid and enzyme activities were analyzed using standard protocols. Also, RT-qPCR was used to quantify the expression levels of selected growth-related genes. Results: Fish fed 25% PO recorded the least muscle protein content and was significantly lower than the group fed 100% PO. Paired box protein 7 (Pax-7) enzyme activity was significantly higher in the group fed 50% PO compared to the groups fed 25% PO and 100% PO, while caplain-3 (Capn-3) was significantly lower in the group fed 0% PO compared to all other groups. There was a significant difference among treatments with respect to mRNA expression of Pax-7 and Capn-3. Group fed 25% PO had significantly lower mRNA expression of Pax-7, while the group fed 75% PO recorded significantly higher mRNA expression of Capn-3 compared to groups fed 0% PO, 25% PO, and 100% PO. Pearson’s correlation analysis revealed that Igf-I and Igf-II mRNA expression have significant correlation with n-3 polyunsaturated fatty acids content in muscle. Conclusion: The results suggest muscle protein content could be modified if FO is replaced with PO. Also, mRNA expression of Pax-7 and Capn-3 is affected by replacing FO with PO.
