Robust biopolymer based ionic-covalent entanglement hydrogels with reversible mechanical behaviour
Emerging applications of hydrogels such as soft robotics and cartilage tissue scaffolds require hydrogels with enhanced mechanical performance. We report the development of a robust biopolymer based ionic-covalent entanglement network hydrogel made from calcium cross-linked gellan gum and genipin cross-linked gelatin. The ratio of the two polymers and the cross-linker concentrations significant...
متن کاملReinforcing biopolymer hydrogels with ionic-covalent entanglement hydrogel microspheres
Microscopic hydrogel spheres can be used to improve the mechanical properties of conventional hydrogels. We prepared ionic-covalent entanglement (ICE) hydrogel microspheres of calcium cross-linked gellan gum and genipin cross-linked gelatin using a water-in-oil emulsion-based processing technique. The method was optimized to produce microspheres with number average diameter 4 ± 1 μm. These ICE ...
متن کاملControlled Release of Doxofylline from Biopolymer Based Hydrogels
In order to modify the xanthan gum (XG) polysaccharide and to develop the hydrogels meant for the drug delivery, we have prepared XG-g-poly [HEMA-co-AA] superporous hydrogel (SPH) through chemical cross-linking by graft copolymerization of 2-hydroxyethyl methacrylate (HEMA) and acrylic acid (AA) on to XG via redox initiator system of ammonium persulfate (APS) and N, N, N’, N’tetramethylethylene...
متن کاملBiodegradable HEMA-based hydrogels with enhanced mechanical properties.
Hydrogels are widely used in the biomedical field. Their main purposes are either to deliver biological active agents or to temporarily fill a defect until they degrade and are followed by new host tissue formation. However, for this latter application, biodegradable hydrogels are usually not capable to sustain any significant load. The development of biodegradable hydrogels presenting load-bea...
متن کاملControl and prediction of degradation of biopolymer based hydrogels with poly(ɛ-caprolactone) subunits.
Complex hydrogels consisting of natural and synthetic polymers, stabilized by combining different physical and chemical cross-linking methods, were assessed by in vitro degradation tests performed at 37°C in phosphate buffer solution. Four biopolymer-based hydrogel series were comparatively evaluated as sponge or dense films as regards mass loss, morphology changes and thermal behavior over the...
