Amphiphiles Self-Assembly: Basic Concepts and Future Perspectives of Supramolecular Approaches (2015, background): “Studies of hydrogel chirality have stimulated interdisciplinary research at the crossroad between material sciences, chemistry, and biomedicines with potential applications in microfluid devices, chiral recognition, enantiomeric separation, and controlled drug release [83, 86, 91].”
Facile preparation of mouldable polyvinyl alcohol-borax hydrogels reinforced by well-dispersed cellulose nanoparticles: physical, viscoelastic and mechanical properties (2013, background): “Being distinguished by high water content and diverse potential physical properties, they can be engineered to resemble the extracellular environment of the human body’s tissues in ways that enable their application in biosensors, medical implants, and even drug-delivery devices (Seliktar 2012).”
Reinforcement of hydrogels using three-dimensionally printed microfibres (2015, neutral): “The compression cycle of GelMA reinforced with 97 and 82% porosity scaffolds was captured from the side (hand-held digital microscope 1.3MP, Meade instruments, Europe GmbH & Co, Rhede, Germany) in order to analyse the lateral expansion of both components of the composite construct.”
Extracellular matrix: A dynamic microenvironment for stem cell niche (2014, background): “Hydrogels are a class of materials with high water content, similar to the ECM [89].”
