3D printing provides powerful on‐demand customization of fabricated structures. A printing‐centric approach for 3D printing extensible, particle‐free silicone oil‐in‐water emulsions with polymer additives is developed by Randy H. Ewoldt, Ralph G. Nuzzo, and co‐workers in article number 1707032 to probe the critical relationship between extensional rheology yield‐stress fluid inks, and 3D printing. This emulsion material is used to fabricate structures with gap spanning features.
