The friction behavior of hydrogel layers shows promise for superlubricity, potentially replacing conventional lubricants and ...

DNA hydrogels are biocompatible drug delivery systems for targeted therapeutic interventions. Conventional DNA hydrogels, formed with many DNA nanostructure units, lead to increased preparation costs ...

Hydrogels are polymeric materials with three-dimensional network structures containing large amounts of water. They serve as sustained-release drug delivery systems as they can encapsulate various ...

Researchers have developed a hydrogel composed of poly(N-acryloylglycinamide) (PNAGAm) grafted with arginine (R)–glycine (G)–aspartic acid (D)–serine (S) peptide whose elastic modulus can be ...

The result is a hydrogel semiconductor material that’s soft enough to match the feel of human tissue. With a Young’s modulus as low as 81 kPa – comparable to that of jelly – and the ability to stretch ...
