"poly(N-isopropylacrylamide) polymer ink, extruded through needle into calcium chloride salt solution, instantly solidifies since salt ions draw water molecules out of polymer solution... ambient conditions, no: additional steps, specialized equipment, toxic chemicals, heat, pressure... reversible, solids easily dissolved in fresh water recycling ink... printed electrical circuit using this ink mixed with carbon nanotubes, which powered a light bulb, and then circuit was then dissolved back into ink"
