Non‐Porous Hydrogel Scaffolds for Locoregional Chemotherapy: A One‐Pot Synthesis Approach
This hydrogel scaffold with tunable mechanical, water retention, degradation, and drug release properties is obtained by polymerizing the hydrophilic OEGMEMA monomer in the presence of PLGA and DOX under concentrated conditions. Its non‐porous structure provides diffusion‐based drug release, while extended drug release is possible by incorporating PLGA.

Friction and Wear Characterizations in Electrospun Nanofibrous Scaffolds for Cartilage Engineering
Articular cartilage (AC)‐engineered electrospun scaffolds have experienced a surge in interest in publication in recent years. However, nanofiber frictional properties are poorly explored in the existing literature. We evaluated the effect of countersurface, speed, and hydrophilicity on nanofibers.

ABSTRACT Though mimicking cartilage's structure, hydrogels often present weak mechanical performance, which limits their use in cartilage repair. Here, nanocomposite hydrogel was synthesized by incorporating multi‐walled carbon nanotubes (CNTs) into a covalently bonded polyacrylamide/polyacrylic acid (PAAm/PAAc) hydrogel. Fourier transform infrared and
