Crack mitigation in concrete : superabsorbent polymers as key to success? [PDF]

open access: yes, 2017
Cracking is a major concern in building applications. Cracks may arise from shrinkage, freeze/thawing and/or structural stresses, amongst others. Several solutions can be found but superabsorbent polymers (SAPs) seem to be interesting to counteract these

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

open access: yesChemistry – 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,

Self-Healing Injectable Hydrogels for Tissue Regeneration

open access: yesChemical Reviews, 2022
Biomaterials with the ability to self-heal and recover their structural integrity offer many advantages for applications in biomedicine. The past decade has witnessed the rapid emergence of a new class of self-healing biomaterials commonly termed injectable, or printable in the context of 3D printing.
