Hydrogels play an important role in the field of biomedical research and diagnostic
medicine. They are emerging as a powerful tool in the context of bioanalytical assays and …

Biosensors that detect and convert biological reactions to a measurable signal have gained
much attention in recent years. Between 1950 and 2017, more than 150,000 papers have …

Hydrogels are hydrophilic, highly water swellable polymer networks capable of converting
chemical energy into mechanical energy and vice versa. They can be tailored regarding …

This review addresses recent progress in cellulose-based hydrogels design and fabrication.
Firstly, hydrogels fabricated directly from native cellulose (including bacterial cellulose) via …

Cellulose-based hydrogels are immensely important for tissue engineering. In this review,
we attempt to document the source, nature, and application of cellulose-based hydrogels as …

Hydrogels are crosslinked polymer networks that can absorb a huge amount of water. The
present review aims to give an overview of hydrogels based on starch and their various …

In this brief review we address a range of interesting applications and prospects of
responsive hydrogel thin films for the fabrication of “smart” responsive surfaces, membranes …

Temperature-induced, rapid changes in the viscosity and reproducible 3-D structure
formation makes thermos-sensitive hydrogels an ideal delivery system to act as a cell …

Natural polysaccharides are abundant, inexpensive, renewable, modifiable and have
biodegradable and biocompatible characteristics. Polysaccharides offer a very promising …

In the past 15 years drug delivery devices have received added attention, not only as
passive systems of drug delivery that respond to the needs of the health care provider or the …
