Short Peptide-Based Smart Thixotropic Hydrogels
Gels, 2022 Thixotropy is a fascinating feature present in many gel systems that has garnered a lot of attention in the medical field in recent decades. When shear stress is applied, the gel transforms into sol and immediately returns to its original state when resting.
