The major challenge in the synthesis of these multilayered hydrogels was controlling the kinetics of gelation such that polymer entanglement does not occur. This results in the formation of ...

New double network hydrogel technology features automated self-strengthening that rapidly activates upon deformation of its polymer network.

A research team has reviewed the process of gel formation in fermented sausages, emphasizing the crucial role of myofibrillar ...

Mussels produce a sort of waterproof glue, which is much more powerful than synthetic adhesives and keeps them from being ...

Researchers at Hokkaido University and Duke University have developed a hydrogel that heals and strengthens itself as it is overloaded and damaged. The proof-of-concept demonstration could lead to ...

ODNs with stem lengths of 12 nucleotides or longer efficiently formed the hydrogel units, suggesting that a 12-nucleotide-long stem is enough for unit formation. Similarly, cohesive parts ...

Surgical adhesions—common, sometimes life-threatening complications that arise after open or laparoscopic abdominal ...

ODNs with stem lengths of 12 nucleotides or longer efficiently formed the hydrogel units, suggesting that a 12-nucleotide-long stem is enough for unit formation. Similarly, cohesive parts ...

A recent study published in the journal Engineering delves into the application of tissue engineering in spinal cord injury (SCI) repair, presenting a comprehensive review of the latest research and ...

New research suggests a novel solution: a material called "hydrogel" — the same technology used for the 'grow monster' toys — could shield space travelers from harmful radiation. A research ...
