Hydrogels for Flexible Electronics
ACS Nano, 2023Hydrogels have emerged as promising materials for flexible electronics due to their unique properties, such as high water content, softness, and biocompatibility. In this perspective, we provide an overview of the development of hydrogels for flexible electronics, with a focus on three key aspects: mechanical properties, interfacial adhesion, and ...

AbstractBioresponsive hydrogels are emerging with technological significance in targeted drug delivery, biosensors, and regenerative medicine. Their ability to respond to specific biologically derived stimuli creates a design challenge in effectively linking the conferred biospecificity with an engineered response tailored to the needs of a particular ...

Injectable hydrogels and nanocomposite hydrogels for cartilage regeneration
Journal of Biomedical Materials Research Part A, 2018AbstractCartilage loss due to age‐related degeneration and mechanical trauma is a significant and challenging problem in the field of surgical medicine. Unfortunately, cartilage tissue can be characterized by the lack of regenerative ability. Limitations of conventional treatment strategies, such as auto‐, allo‐, and xenografts or implants stimulate an

Dynamic properties of hydrogels and fiber-reinforced hydrogels
Journal of the Mechanical Behavior of Biomedical Materials, 2018Hydrophilic polymers, or hydrogels, are used for a wide variety of biomedical applications, due to their inherent ability to withhold a high-water content. In recent years, a large effort has been focused on tailoring the mechanical properties of these hydrogels to become more appropriate materials for use as anatomical and physiological structural ...

Supramolecular polymeric hydrogels
Chemical Society Reviews, 2012The supramolecular crosslinking of polymer chains in water by specific, directional and dynamic non-covalent interactions has led to the development of novel supramolecular polymeric hydrogels. These aqueous polymeric networks constitute an interesting class of soft materials exhibiting attractive properties such as stimuli-responsiveness and self ...

Gradient hydrogels represent a pivotal and expanding direction of three-dimensional cell culture. Since various types of gradients play an important role in physiological and pathological processes in vivo, recreation of these gradients in vitro allows a better understanding of cellular behavior, intercellular and cell-matrix interactions.

Polyacrylamide Hydrogel Micropatterning
2014This chapter describes the production of micropatterns of extracellular matrix proteins on a 2D flat polyacrylamide (PAA) gel. The technique is divided into two parts. First, micropatterns are produced on glass or directly on a photomask using deep UV. Then the micropatterns are transferred on acrylamide gel by polymerization of the gel directly on the

Hydrogels for biomedical applications
Advanced Drug Delivery Reviews, 2001Abstract: This paper reviews the composition and synthesis of hydrogels, the character of their absorbed water, and permeation of solutes within their swollen matrices. The most important properties of hydrogels relevant to their biomedical applications are also identified, in particular for use of hydrogels as drug and cell carriers, and as tissue ...

Hydrogels are water swollen, crosslinked polymeric structures, produced by the simple reaction of one or more monomers or by association of bonds such as hydrogen bonds and strong van der Waals interactions between chains. A large amount of today's research is focused on probably the most interesting among them, the so-called "smart" hydrogels.
