Multipurpose smart hydrogel systems

TL;DR: This review focuses on the most recent progress made with respect to preparation, properties, and their salient accomplishments for drug delivery and tissue engineering of chitosan-based hydrogels.

TL;DR: Oscillatory shear data indicated the CNC-PEG nanocomposite Hydrogels were more viscous than the neat PEG hydrogels and were efficient at energy dissipation due to the reversible interactions between CNC and PEG polymer chains.

TL;DR: In this article, a review article summarizes the development on the modified palygorskite with different physical or chemical methods and palygskite-based composite used as adsorbents for the adsorption of dyes from aqueous solution by reviewing a comprehensive literature combined with our group's research achievements.

TL;DR: Basic aspects used to control the architecture and functional properties of smart hydrogels are discussed, and analysis provides the basis for optimizing biological responses through system modulation.

TL;DR: The composition and synthesis of hydrogels, the character of their absorbed water, and permeation of solutes within their swollen matrices are reviewed to identify the most important properties relevant to their biomedical applications.

TL;DR: Hydrogels are an appealing scaffold material because they are structurally similar to the extracellular matrix of many tissues, can often be processed under relatively mild conditions, and may be delivered in a minimally invasive manner.
