Patches with a cellulose gel material can also prevent them from sliding off your face (a con I often deal with and try to avoid as much as possible). Not only is the skin under your eyes thinner ...

Hydrogels with photo-responsive mechanical properties have found broad biomedical applications, including delivering bioactive molecules, cell culture, biosensing, and tissue engineering. Here, using ...

Car tires, replacement hip joints, bowling balls – these and other items are made from a class of plastics called thermosets, known for extreme durability. Their “crosslinked polymer” chemical ...

Inspired by such adhesion mechanism, we designed and constructed a hydrophobic phase separation hydrogel induced by the electrostatic and hydrogen bond interaction assembly of PEI and PMAA. By ...

The material retains the mechanical durability of traditional thermosets while enabling chemical recycling and natural degradation, addressing the environmental impact of non-recyclable ...

Within the major group of semisolid preparations, the use of hydrogel has expanded, both in cosmetics and in pharmaceutical preparations (Gowda et al., 2016). Hydrogels are appropriate for wound ...

Article Views are the COUNTER-compliant sum of full text article downloads since November 2008 (both PDF and HTML) across all institutions and individuals. These metrics are regularly updated to ...

In one study, poly (N-iso phosphoric acid) formed bubbles when the functional group of the polymer was neutralized. Hydrogels are a prime example of ion-sensitive biomaterials suitable for 3D printing ...

Unlike conventional thermosets, DHF-based materials can be chemically recycled back into their original building blocks or naturally broken down into benign components. Researchers have created a ...
