Injectable thermosensitive hydrogels are free-flowing polymer solutions at low or room
temperature, making them easy to encapsulate the therapeutic payload or cells via simply …

A number of stimuli-responsive-based hydrogels has been widely explored in biomedical
applications in the last few decades because of their excellent biodegradability and …

The focus in the field of biomedical engineering has shifted in recent years to biodegradable
polymers and, in particular, polyesters. Dozens of polyester-based medical devices are …

Over the past decades, significant progress has been made in the field of hydrogels as
functional biomaterials. Biomedical application of hydrogels was initially hindered by the …

Hydrogels prepared via self-assembly offer scalable and tunable platforms for drug delivery
applications. Molecular-scale self-assembly leverages an interplay of attractive and …

A major scientific challenge of the past decade pertaining to the field of soft matter has been

Block copolymer micelles are generally formed by the self-assembly of either amphiphilic or
oppositely charged copolymers in aqueous medium. The hydrophilic and hydrophobic …

In this work, we have synthesized a thermoresponsive copolymer, alginate-g-poly (N-
isopropylacrylamide)(alginate-g-PNIPAAm) by conjugating PNIPAAm to alginate, where …

Stimuli‐responsive materials are so named because they can alter their physicochemical
properties and/or structural conformations in response to specific stimuli. The stimuli can be …

Stimuli-sensitive injectable polymeric hydrogels have been extensively investigated during
the past decade as bioactive agent delivery vehicles and for tissue engineering applications …
