due to the fact that many application processes take place at different temperature, better examining and understanding of swelling properties as a function of temperature is essential for such application. the temperature effect on the swelling properties of commercial polyacrylic acid (paa) hydrogel beads was investigated as a function of time and temperature. gel bead size, swelling equilibr...

Conductive hydrogel combined with Ag/AgCl electrode is widely used in the acquisition of bio-signals. However, the high adhesiveness of current commercial hydrogel causes human skin allergies and pruritus easily after wearing hydrogel for electrodes for a long time. In this paper, a novel conductive hydrogel with good mechanical and conductive performance was prepared using polyvinyl alcohol (P...

Enzymes can catalyze various reactions with high selectivity and are involved in many important biological processes. However, the general instability of enzymes against high temperature often limits their application. To address this, we synthesized a trehalose-based hydrogel in two steps from commercial starting materials with minimal purification procedures. Mono- and multi-functional trehal...

Hydrogel implants became alternative fillers for breast implants after silicone implants were restricted in 1992 due to various local complications (1). Hydrogel implants contain hydrogel fillers, which are organic polymers of polysaccharide and water, such as hyaluronic acid fluid, hydroxypropyl cellulose (polysaccharide), and polyacrylamide (2). Initially, this implant was highly favored due ...

The deformation behavior of a pH-sensitive hydrogel micro-fluidic valve system is investigated using inhomogeneous gel deformation theory, in which the fluid-structure interaction (FSI) of the gel solid and fluid flow in the pipe is considered. We use a finite element method with a well adopted hydrogel constitutive equation, which is coded in commercial software, ABAQUS, to simulate the hydrog...

alginate hydrogel and honey have a notably effect on wound healing process, therefore assessment of combined impact of those are essential. in this study, the effect of homey-based alginate hydrogel, alginate hydrogel and commercial alginate dressings in recovery of wound in a mouse model was studied. in this study, 20 wistar rats were divided into four groups of five. one wound with dimension ...

Postoperative peritoneal adhesion is one of the serious issues because it induces severe clinical disorders. In this study, we prepared biodegradable and injectable hydrogel composed of N,O-carboxymethyl chitosan (NOCC) and aldehyde hyaluronic acid (AHA), and assessed its anti-adhesion effect in a rigorous and severe recurrent adhesion model which is closer to clinical conditions. The flexible ...

In this study, a series of injectable thermoreversible and thermogelling PDLLA-PEG-PDLLA copolymers were developed and a systematic evaluation of the thermogelling system both in vitro and in vivo was performed. The aqueous PDLLA-PEG-PDLLA solutions above a critical gel concentration could transform into hydrogel spontaneously within 2 minutes around the body temperature in vitro or in vivo. Mo...
