Regulated Ion‐Diffusion Hydrogels for Subtle and Multimodal Temperature‐Strain Sensing in Wound Monitoring

Advanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.
A soft, dual‐channel hydrogel patch enables simultaneous detection of wound temperature and strain by integrating ion‐diffusion‐mediated thermoelectric and resistive sensing. The conformal design maintains stable performance during motion, capturing subtle inflammatory and mechanical changes for continuous wound monitoring.

Self-Healing Chitosan Hydrogels: Preparation and Rheological Characterization

Polymers, 2022
The paper aims at the preparation of chitosan self-healing hydrogels, designed as carriers for local drug delivery by parenteral administration. To this aim, 30 hydrogels were prepared using chitosan and pyridoxal 5-phosphate (P5P), the active form of vitamin B6 as precursors, by varying the ratio of glucosamine units and aldehyde on the one hand and ...

Cell‐Encapsulating Hydrogel Puzzle: Polyrotaxane‐Based Self‐Healing Hydrogels [PDF]

Chemistry – A European Journal, 2019
AbstractSlide‐ring hydrogels using polyrotaxanes have been developed as highly tough soft materials. However, they have never been used as biomaterials because of the lack of biocompatibility. Meanwhile, self‐healing hydrogels are expected to improve fatigue resistance and extend the period of use. However, owing to the lack of high mechanical strength,
