Claim 11:
12. A method, comprising:
providing a printable precursor composition comprising a polymerizable scaffold component and a curable siloxane-containing component;
exposing the printable precursor composition to an energy source that provides sufficient energy to polymerize the polymerizable scaffold component thereby providing an intermediate structure comprising a polymerized scaffold and the curable siloxane-containing component;
exposing the intermediate structure to conditions sufficient to cure the curable siloxane-containing component to provide a cured polysiloxane-polymerized scaffold hybrid structure comprising a polysiloxane having a polymer backbone that consists of oxygen-silicon bonds; and
removing the polymerized scaffold from the cured polysiloxane-polymerized scaffold hybrid structure by exposing the cured polysiloxane-polymerized scaffold hybrid structure to a washing solution comprising water, an alcohol, or a combination thereof.
