Recently, research on double-network (DN) hydrogels with good biocompatibility and
mechanical properties has been flourishing. The main research directions have aimed to …

Hydrogels are three-dimensional, hydrophilic, polymeric networks, held together by a variety
of physical or chemical crosslinks. Among the numerous polymers that can be employed to …

Soak n'Boost: A universal strategy to manufacture hybrid double-network hydrogels with
eminent mechanical properties is developed by postformation of the chitosan …

A new double-layer, pH-sensitive, composite hydrogel sustained-release system based on
polysaccharides and synthetic polymers with combined functions of different inner/outer …

A biocompatible hydrogel with a double-membrane structure is developed from cationic
cellulose nanocrystals (CNC) and anionic alginate. The architecture of the double …

Nanoarchitectonics, like architectonics, allows the design and building of structures, but at
the nanoscale. Unlike those in architectonics, and even macro-, micro-, and atomic-scale …

Inspired by the gradient hygroscopic structure of carrotwood seed pod, patterned anisotropic
structure was created in polysaccharide hydrogel by an anodic electrical writing process …

Living bodies are made of numerous bio-sensors and actuators for perceiving external
stimuli and making movement. Hydrogels have been considered as ideal candidates for …

A fabric hydrogel composite hernia mesh with biomechanical and mesh–tissue interface
dual compliance is designed for scarless abdominal wall reconstruction. The mesh is …

Carbon quantum dots (CQDs) show promise in optoelectronics as a light emitter due to
simple synthesis, biocompatibility and strong tunable light emissions. However, CQDs …
