Researchers at Hokkaido University and Duke University have developed a hydrogel that heals and strengthens itself as it is ...

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

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 ...

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 ...

Scientists have identified water as one of the most effective materials for blocking radiation. Water is dense and contains ...

New research suggests a novel solution: a material called "hydrogel" — the same technology used for the 'grow monster' toys — ...

To shield astronauts from dangerous space radiation, researchers are developing 3D-printed hydrogels—materials that absorb ...

Researchers have turned abundant natural materials like cellulose into powerful hydrogels that capture water from air, ...

A breakthrough in bioprinting of living tissues could soon lead to 3D-printing of blood vessels and human organs, ushering in ...

2018). If the hydrogel modulus is comparable, the hydrogel can maintain a secure adhesion to the brain tissue. Hydrogels can be categorized into natural and synthetic types based on their polymeric ...

Hydrogels are a class of highly hydrophilic polymer networks, and their good biocompatibility has made them a popular research material in the field of oral medicine in recent years. This paper ...
