Physikalische Hydrogele auf Polyurethan-Basis
Physical hydrogels have gained recent attention as cell substrates, since viscoelasticity or stress relaxation is a powerful parameter in mechanotransduction, which has long been neglected. We designed multi-functional polyurethanes to form physical hydrogels via a unique tunable gelation …

The preparation of cucurbit[8]uril-based hydrogels for delivery applications
… describes the design and characterisation of hydrogels based on the host-guest chemistry of cucurbit[8]uril for the controlled delivery of molecular cargo. The host molecule is capable of binding two guest molecules in an inclusion complex. Its addition to an aqueous solution of …

Design, Synthesis and Characterisation of Amphiphilic Symmetrical triblock copolymers by the RAFT process : their self-organisation in dilute and concentrated aqueous solutions
… was found, while only at high concentration, physical hydrogels are formed. The reversible thermoresponsive behaviour of the ABA and BAB type copolymer solutions in water with A made of PNIPAM was examined by turbidimetry and dynamic light scattering (DLS). The cloud point of the copolymers …

Synthesis, nanostructure, and mechanics of thermoresponsively tough biomaterials from artificial polypeptides
Artificial protein hydrogels have attracted interest as injectable fillers and scaffolds for tissue engineering and regeneration, but the same features that enable minimally-invasive implantation of these biomaterials typically make them susceptible to mechanical degradation in the tissue …

Control of surface structure and properties of responsive hydrogel interfaces via electrostatic interactions
Hydrogels are primary candidates for applications in soft robotics, biomedical devices, and tissue engineering due to their biocompatibility, extremely low coefficients of friction, and potential for a variety of responsive behaviors.[1] Their biphasic nature and viscoelastic network results in a …
