Until now, artificial gels have either managed to replicate this high stiffness or natural skin’s self-healing properties, ...
Researchers develop a stiff, self-healing hydrogel mimicking human skin. Applications include drug delivery, wound healing, & ...
which spread into a stretched physiological configuration from an initially rounded one. More impressively, through controlled availability of cell-adhesive peptide ligands in the PEG gel ...
Researchers develop a hydrogel that replicates both the stiffness and self-healing properties of human skin, paving the way ...
Researchers have created a unique hydrogel that’s both tough and self-healing, thanks to nanosheet-enhanced polymer ...
New double network hydrogel technology features automated self-strengthening that rapidly activates upon deformation of its polymer network.
We all encounter gels in daily life—from the soft, sticky substances you put in your hair to the jelly-like components in ...
A hydrogel that can stretch to around 15 times its initial length is one of the most elastic materials yet known and could be used for robotic grippers or tendons. Hydrogels, which are made of ...
