Polyvinyl alcohol (PVA) hydrogels have been considered potentially suitable for applications
as engineered blood vessels because of their structure and mechanical properties …

The aim of the present study was the characterization of a polymeric blend composed of
PVP/PVAL that can be used to obtain a biocompatible hydrogel, appropriate as a controlled …

It is the intention of this paper to review the literature concerning the preparation, properties,
and biomedical applications of synthetic hydrogel materials. As the literature on this subject …

Novel antimicrobial PVP-GP hydrogels were prepared by polycondensation of
hexamethylenediamine and guanidine hydrochloride, followed by cross-linking reaction …

New tissue engineering technologies will rely on biomaterials that physically support tissue
growth and stimulate specific cell functions. The goal of this study was to create a …

Physical hydrogels based on poly (vinyl alcohol)(PVA) were synthesized in the presence of
natural polysaccharides, either hyaluronan or Chondroitin sulphate, in order to obtain …

In this manuscript, we describe the fabrication of hydrogel supports for mammalian cell
handling that can simultaneously prevent materials from microbial contamination and …

Dialdehyde cellulose (DAC) was used as an efficient and low-toxicity crosslinker to prepare
thin PVA/DAC hydrogel films designed for topical applications such as drug-loaded patches …

The purpose of this study is the development and characterizations of novel polyvinyl
alcohol (PVA)/polyvinyl pyrolidone (PVP) hydrogel blends. Different mixtures of the two …

ABSTRACT Poly (vinyl alcohol)(PVA) is a hydrophilic polymer with excellent biocompatibility
