Journal ArticleDOI
Two-Component Thermoreversible Hydrogels of Melamine and Gallic Acid†
TL;DR: A new two-component hydrogel of melamine and gallic acid is reported for three different compositions of the components, and the DSC study indicates a reversible first-order phase transition in the system.
Journal ArticleDOI
Enhanced osteoblast adhesion on self-assembled nanostructured hydrogel scaffolds.
TL;DR: The present results demonstrated that HRNs can improve properties of one particular hydrogel (pHEMA) and, thus, should be further investigated as a bone-healing material.
Journal ArticleDOI
Highly Elastic Hydrated Cellulosic Materials with Durable Compressibility and Tunable Conductivity
Chaoji Chen,Jianwei Song,Jian Cheng,Zhenqian Pang,Wentao Gan,Gegu Chen,Yudi Kuang,Hao Huang,Upamanyu Ray,Teng Li,Liangbing Hu +10 more
TL;DR: The demonstrated elastic, mechanically robust, and ionically conductive cellulosic material combining inherited anisotropic cellular structure from natural wood and a self-formed internal gel may find a variety of potential applications in ionic nanofluidics, sensors, soft robots, artificial muscle, environmental remediation, and energy storage.
Journal ArticleDOI
Analytical solutions of polymeric gel structures under buckling and wrinkle
TL;DR: In this article, the authors presented the analytical solutions of swelling-induced instability of various slender and thin film gel structures, and derived the formulas of buckling and wrinkle conditions and critical stress values for slender beam and thin-film gel structures under swelling induced instability using nonlinear buckling theories of beam and film structures.
Journal ArticleDOI
Synthesis and characterization of a novel hydrogel: salecan/polyacrylamide semi-IPN hydrogel with a desirable pore structure
TL;DR: Novel semi-interpenetrating polymer network (semi-IPN) hydrogels based on salecan and polyacrylamide (PAAm) were synthesized by radical polymerization/cryopolymerization and semi-ipN techniques and mechanical measurements showed that all semi-IPNs possessed good mechanical properties.

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.
