Hydrogel-based depots typically tend to remain where injected and have excellent
biocompatibility but are relatively poor at controlling drug release. Nanoparticles (NPs) …

Clay minerals have been applied in biomedicine for thousands of years. Laponite is a
nanostructured synthetic clay with the capacity to retain and progressively release drugs. In …

Although clay-based nanocomposite hydrogels have been widely explored, their instability
in hot water and saline solution inhibits their applications in biomedical engineering, and the …

In this work, a new material for in vitro plant rooting based on highly dispersed
polyacrylamide hydrogel (PAAG) enriched with amber powder was synthesized and …

In this study, novel self-assembled protein-clay nanocomposites were developed for
curcumin delivery. Experimentally, curcumin was dissolved and deprotonated in sodium …

Two approaches to the synthesis of hydrogels based on polyacrylamide (pAAm) with
copolymers were compared in the paper—traditional chemical cross-linking and physical …

Hydrogels have many useful physicochemical properties which, in combination with their
biocompatibility, suggest their application as a drug delivery system for the local and …

Magnetic Fe3O4 nanoparticles “decorated” by LAPONITE® nanodisks have been
materialized utilizing the Schikorr reaction following a facile approach and tested as …

The effects of acid activation of Laponite RD (Lap) on the structure and properties of
activated Lap nanoparticles (aLap) and the properties of polyNIPAAm hydrogels physically …

Two series of hydrogels based on acrylamide and its copolymers with acrylonitrile and
acrylic acid were synthesized by two cross‐linking methods–chemical (using N, N …
