Tissue-nanoengineered hyperbranched polymer based multifunctional hydrogels as flexible “wounped treatment-health monitoring” bioelectronic implant
TL;DR: In this paper , a tissue-nano-engineered hyperbranched polymer based multifunctional hydrogels (CHHCMgel) with mechanically flexible, antibacterial, electroactive, bio-adhesive, self-healable and hemostatic features was manufactured through integrative crosslinking and bio-compositing strategy of hyperbranchhed polyglycidyl ether to incorporate the functional building blocks of biocompatible chitosan/human-like collagen composites along with conductive MXene sheets and Gr (Graphene).
