Journal ArticleDOI
Photo-cross-linked PLA-PEO-PLA hydrogels from self-assembled physical networks: mechanical properties and influence of assumed constitutive relationships.
TL;DR: The chosen model and assumptions used for data fitting influenced the obtained modulus values by as much as a factor of 3.5, which demonstrates the importance of clearly stating one's data fitting parameters so that accurate comparisons can be made within the literature.
Journal ArticleDOI
Shape-defining scaffolds for minimally invasive tissue engineering.
TL;DR: Shaped hydrogels, formed by covalently cross-linking, can be structurally collapsed into smaller, temporary shapes that permit their minimally invasive delivery in vivo and permits neotissue formation in desired geometries.
Journal ArticleDOI
Preparation, characterization, and in vitro enzymatic degradation of chitosan‐gelatine hydrogel scaffolds as potential biomaterials
Selestina Gorgieva,Vanja Kokol +1 more
TL;DR: It was observed that an inner morphological hydrogel structure influences their swelling and degradation behavior, which is additionally reduced by in-gel-embedded α-tocopherol because of hydrophobic interactions with their constituents, and hindering the effect on collagenase activity.
Journal ArticleDOI
Evolution of Dip-Pen Nanolithography (DPN): From Molecular Patterning to Materials Discovery
TL;DR: A process originally intended to compete with tools used by the semiconductor industry for rapid prototyping has transcended that application to advanced materials discovery, and the opportunities for future fundamental and technological exploration are outlined.
Journal ArticleDOI
Poroelasticity of a covalently crosslinked alginate hydrogel under compression
TL;DR: In this paper, the poroelastic behavior of an alginate hydrogel was studied by a combination of theory and experiment, and a comparison of the relaxation curve recorded in the experiment and that derived from the theory determined the elastic constants and the permeability of the gel.

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.
