General Strategy To Fabricate Strong and Tough Low-Molecular-Weight Gelator-Based Supramolecular Hydrogels with Double Network Structure

TL;DR: Here, several design principles are proposed to fabricate new LMWG-based hydrogels with a true double-network structure (G4·K+/PDMAAm DN gels), consisting of the supramolecular self-assembly of guanosine, B(OH)3 and KOH as the first, physical G4·k+ network and the covalently cross-linked poly(N,N′-dimethyacrylamide) (PD

Poly(2-hydroxyethyl methacrylate)-based slabs as a mouse embryonic stem cell support

TL;DR: To address its potentials in the context of stem cell therapies, undifferentiated mouse embryonic stem cells D3 were seeded on the slabs and analyzed for the ability to grow on different types of non-degradable and/or degradable porous PHEMA hydrogels, and cells were able to proliferate only on PHEMA crosslinked with EDMA or 2 wt% DMHA.

Synthesis of nanohydrogels based on tragacanth gum biopolymer and investigation of swelling and drug delivery.

TL;DR: The present article deals with preparation of pH responsive nanohydrogels based on tragacanth gum (TG) biopolymer for drug delivery using different chemical reagents such as 3-aminopropyltriethoxysilane (APTES) modifier and glyceroldiglycidylether (GDE), polyvinyl alcohol (PVA), and glutaraldehyde (GA) as cross-linkers.

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.
