"Supercritical carbon dioxide in water" emulsion-templated synthesis of porous calcium alginate hydrogels

TL;DR: In this article, supercritical carbon dioxide in water emulsion-templated synthesis of porous alginate hydrogels with a narrow range of macropore sizes was investigated.
Journal ArticleDOI

Novel polymer-free iridescent lamellar hydrogel for two-dimensional confined growth of ultrathin gold membranes

TL;DR: This work presents a type of polymer-free anisotropic lamellar hydrogels composed of 100-nm-thick water layers sandwiched by two bilayer membranes of a self-assembled nonionic surfactant, hexadecylglyceryl maleate, and detects the optical and electrical properties on a single gold membrane.
Journal ArticleDOI

General Principle for Fabricating Natural Globular Protein-Based Double-Network Hydrogels with Integrated Highly Mechanical Properties and Surface Adhesion on Solid Surfaces

TL;DR: In this paper, a new strategy combining double-network and protein misfolding concepts was proposed to create diverse protein-polymer double network (DN) hydrogels with both high bulk and interfacial toughness.
Journal ArticleDOI

Low molecular weight organogelators for water

TL;DR: Mono-urea serine derivatives with low molecular weights were prepared in one step and show remarkable self-assembling and gelation properties in water.
Journal ArticleDOI

Structure and dynamics of a molecular hydrogel derived from a tripodal cholamide.

TL;DR: The study of the gelation kinetics by monitoring the ultrafast dynamics of ANS revealed a progressive increase in the aggregate size and the microviscosity of the aqueous pool encompassed by the self-assembled fibrillar network (SAFIN) during thegelation.

Solution Properties of Poly(N-isopropylacrylamide)

TL;DR: In this paper, a lower critical solution temperature of poly(N-isopropyl acrylamide was found to be due to an entropy effect, which was attributed to the formation of nonpolar and intermolecular hydrogen bonds.

Alginate hydrogels as synthetic extracellular matrix materials

TL;DR: Alginate may prove to be an ideal material with which to confer specific cellular interactive properties, potentially allowing for the control of long-term gene expression of cells within these matrices.
Journal ArticleDOI

Biodegradable block copolymers as injectable drug-delivery systems

TL;DR: The synthesis of a thermosensitive, biodegradable hydrogel consisting of blocks of poly(ethylene oxide) and poly(L-lactic acid) and aqueous solutions of these copolymers exhibit temperature-dependent reversible gel–sol transitions.
