Crack tip fields in soft elastic solids subjected to large quasi-static deformation — A review
Rong Long,Chung-Yuen Hui +1 more
TL;DR: In this article, the authors review analytical solutions for the asymptotic deformation and stress fields near the tip of a crack in soft elastic solids, and highlight pitfalls in the applications of these solutions, particularly the J-integral and the distribution of true stress in the deformed configuration.

Materials-Directed Differentiation of Mesenchymal Stem Cells for Tissue Engineering and Regeneration
J. Kent Leach,Jacklyn Whitehead +1 more
TL;DR: A review of recent approaches for guiding MSC fate using biomaterials is highlighted and a description of the underlying characteristics that promote differentiation toward a desired phenotype is provided.
Journal ArticleDOI
Bioinspired high-power-density strong contractile hydrogel by programmable elastic recoil.
Yanfei Ma,Yanfei Ma,Mutian Hua,Shuwang Wu,Shuwang Wu,Yingjie Du,Xiaowei Pei,Xinyuan Zhu,Feng Zhou,Ximin He +9 more
TL;DR: This demonstrated elastic energy storing and releasing method endows hydrogels with elasticity-plasticity switchability, multi-stable deformability in fully reversible and programmable manners, and anisotropic or isotropic deformation.
Journal ArticleDOI
Synthesis, patterning and applications of star-shaped poly(ethylene glycol) biofunctionalized surfaces.
TL;DR: The surface preparation uses simple spin-, dip- or spray-coating and produces smooth layers with low background fluorescence, render the surfaces ideal for immobilizing proteins on surfaces with detection limits down to the single molecule level.

Solution Properties of Poly(N-isopropylacrylamide)
M. Heskins,J. E. Guillet +1 more
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.
Journal ArticleDOI
Polymeric Systems for Controlled Drug Release
TL;DR: Kevin Shakesheff investigates new methods of engineering polymer surfaces and the application of these engineered materials in drug delivery and tissue engineering.
Journal ArticleDOI
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.
