The complex tissue‐specific physiology that is orchestrated from the nano‐to the
macroscale, in conjugation with the dynamic biophysical/biochemical stimuli underlying …

New technologies rely on the development of new materials, and these may simply be the
innovative combination of known components. The structural combination of a polymer …

Hydrogels that electronically respond to mechanical changes can be used as strain sensors.
However, these systems usually require external power to convert changes in strain into …

Gel-nanocomposites are rapidly emerging functional advanced materials having
widespread applications in materials and biological sciences. Herein, we review syntheses …

Hydrogels are water-rich structures formed by crosslinking of hydrophilic monomers. The
hydrophilic three-dimensional (3D) network structures mimic the extracellular matrix of …

This paper reports swelling behavior of cellulose nanocrystal (CNC)-based polyacrylamide
hydrogels prepared by a radical polymerization. The CNC acts as a nanofiller through the …

Halloysite is a naturally occurring clay mineral with submicron sized hollow cylindrical
morphology. Halloysite morphology, structure and properties were characterized by using …

Halloysite is naturally available clay mineral with hollow cylindrical geometry and it is
available in thousands of tons. Silver nanorods were synthesized inside the lumen of the …

MnO2 nanoparticle enriched poly (3, 4-ethylenedioxythiophene)(PEDOT) nanowires are
fabricated by simply soaking the PEDOT nanowires in potassium permanganate (KMnO4) …

Combining organic hydrogels with nanomaterials leads to creation of nanocomposite
hydrogels (NCHs) with unique features. These multi-composite/multi-functional materials …
