Recently,soft robotics research has been conducted on soft-bodied organisms(squid,octopus,jellyfish),and Inter-Crosslinking Network(ICN)gels with high water content have been studied to provide flexibility and high fracture strain.The 3D gel printer technology has evolved,and technologies to add deformation response to 3D printed gel materials have been studied.One of the most promising methods is to add magnetic field responsiveness by dispersing magnetic particles.In this study,we analyze the molding characteristics of magnetic ICN gel using a 3D printer with a regulated liquid surface system.In particular,we will clarify the parameters that contribute to 3D printing.
