Dynamic covalent polymer networks (DCPN) have historically attracted attention for their
unique roles in chemical recycling and self-healing, which are both relevant for sustainable …

Biological signalling is regulated through a complex and tightly choreographed interplay
between cells and their extracellular matrix. The spatiotemporal control of these interactions …

The need to support the two most basic functions [three-dimensional (3D)–shaped support
and actuation] independently for a typical robot demands that at least two components …

Covalently crosslinked materials, classically referred to as thermosets, represent a broad
class of elastic materials that readily retain their shape and molecular architecture through …

In this review, we explore different approaches for introducing bioactivity into poly (ethylene
glycol)(PEG) hydrogels. Hydrogels are excellent scaffolding materials for repairing and …

Abstract 3D printing is a powerful emerging technology for the tailored fabrication of
advanced functional materials. This Review summarizes the state‐of‐the art with regard to …

Polymer networks possessing reversible covalent cross-links constitute a novel material
class with the capacity for adapting to an externally applied stimulus. These covalent …

This review discusses basic aspects used to control the architecture and functional
properties of smart hydrogels. The introduction briefly outlines what has been accomplished …

Hydrogels are soft materials composed of a three-dimensional network which contain a high
percentage of water similar to body tissue and are therefore regarded as a biocompatible …

Native tissues orchestrate their functions by complex interdependent cascades of
biochemical and biophysical cues that vary spatially and temporally during cellular …
