Journal ArticleDOI
Recent developments in tough hydrogels for biomedical applications
TL;DR: This work reviews various strategies to fabricate tough hydrogels with the introduction of non-covalent bonds and the construction of stretchable polymer networks and interpenetrated networks, such as the so-called double-network hydrogel.
Journal ArticleDOI
Semi-bald Micelles and Corresponding Percolated Micelle Networks of Thermogels
Shuquan Cui,Lin Yu,Jiandong Ding +2 more
TL;DR: As an injectable and biodegradable hydrogel, thermogels of amphiphilic block copolymers of polyester and polyether in water show great potential in biomedical fields.
Journal ArticleDOI
Bio-inspired 3D microenvironments: a new dimension in tissue engineering.
TL;DR: Focus is given to recent advances in the use of engineered 3D cellular microenvironments for fundamental studies in cell biology, including photoresponsive systems that are shedding new light on how matrix properties influence cell phenotype and function.
Journal ArticleDOI
Cryogenic fabrication of savlon loaded macroporous blends of alginate and polyvinyl alcohol (PVA). Swelling, deswelling and antibacterial behaviors
TL;DR: In this article, the authors designed a savlon loaded blend hydrogels of polyvinyl alcohol (PVA) and alginate by repeated freeze-thaw method and their characterization by SEM and FTIR techniques.
Journal ArticleDOI
Delivery systems for the treatment of degenerated intervertebral discs.

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.
