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

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)

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.

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.

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.
