Hydrogels: Methods of Preparation, Characterisation and Applications (2011, neutral): “The labile bonds can be broken under physiological conditions either enzymatically or chemically, in most of the cases by hydrolysis (Hennink & Nostrum, 2002; Hoffman, 2002).”
Design principles of food gels (2020, background): “Temperature-induced gelation may take various forms30: (1) gelation on cooling a hot solution (for example, agarose, carrageenan, gellan); (2) gelation on heating a solution (such as methyl- and hydroxy propylmethyl-cellulose or curdlan); (3) gelation at intermediate temperatures, yet solution state”
Single-Cell Phenotyping within Transparent Intact Tissue Through Whole-Body Clearing (2014, neutral): “The clearing speed depends in part on the rate of lipid solvation by detergent micelles, and the rate of diffusion of detergent micelles in tissue (Hoffman, 2002).”
External stimuli response on a novel chitosan hydrogel crosslinked with formaldehyde (2006, background): “Hydrogels may be chemically stable or they may degrade and eventually disintegrate and dissolve (Hoffman 2002).”
