Copolymeric hydrogels

Stimuli-responsive homo- and copolymeric hydrogels with pH, temperature, ionic strength, solvation, electrical field, or magnetic field-sensitive pendent groups have been produced for drug, peptide and protein delivery devices, for biosensors and for tissue engineering. Their swelling behaviour, net-...

Copolymeric Hydrogels These are composed of two or more different monomer species, at least one of which must be hydrophilic to render them swellable [39]. Multipolymer Hydrogels These are produced from three or more commoners reacting together. 

One of the adhesive options is copolymeric hydrogels, composed of aminated star polyethylene glycol and dextran aldehyde (PEGrdextran). These materials exhibit physico-chemical properties that can be modified to achieve organ- and tissue-specific adhesion performance. The investigators reported that resistance to failure under specific loading...
