Viscoelastic Behaviors of Hyaluronic Derivatives as a Function of pH, Salt, and Temperature

open access: yesJournal of Polymer Science, Volume 64, Issue 6, Page 1505-1517, 15 March 2026.
Viscoelastic properties of hyaluronic acid grafted with polyether side‐chains (HA‐PEPO) can be controlled in aqueous media over more than three decades of amplitude with the possibility to get liquid or gel states, regardless of temperature, as well as sol/gel transitions induced by cooling or heating by the interplay between hydrogen bonds ...
