Multicompartment Hydrogels [PDF]
Macromolecular Rapid Communications, 2022 AbstractHydrogels belong to the most promising materials in polymer and materials science at the moment. As they feature soft and tissue‐like character as well as high water‐content, a broad range of applications are addressed with hydrogels, e.g., tissue engineering and wound dressings but also soft robotics, drug delivery, actuators, and catalysis ...

Hydrogels and Their Novel Applications [PDF]
Iranian Journal of Chemistry & Chemical Engineering, 2023 Hydrogels are 3-D (three-dimensional) polymer networks that can be natural or synthetic. After encountering water, do not dissolve but swell. Hydrogels swell in different conditions, such as temperature, pH, and ionic strength, and show other behaviors ...
