Hydrogels are polymer networks infiltrated with water. Many biological hydrogels in animal
bodies such as muscles, heart valves, cartilages, and tendons possess extreme mechanical …

Hydrophilic polymers are the center of research emphasis in nanotechnology because of
their perceived “intelligence”. They can be used as thin films, scaffolds, or nanoparticles in a …

Keeping in view the antioxidant nature of the acacia gum and mucoadhesive nature of
carbopol hydrogels, in the present studies, an attempt has been made to explore the …

The current work was focused on formulation of new topical bioactive hyaluronic acid
(HA)/Na-alginate (SA) films crosslinked with Ca 2+, Zn 2+, or Cu 2+ metal cations. The …

Abstract Poly (vinyl alcohol)(PVA) is a hydrophilic and biocompatible polymer that can be
crosslinked to form a hydrogel. When physically crosslinked using a freeze–thaw cycling …

Counter-intuitively, over-the-counter medication is commonly taken by pregnant women. In
this context, acetaminophen (APAP, eg Paracetamol, Tylenol) is generally recommended by …

The present study deals with the modification of sterculia gum by PVA–PVP through
radiation crosslinking, to develop the hydrogels meant for the delivery of antimicrobial agent …

Aqueous mixture of β-glucan and poly (vinyl alcohol)(PVA) was cast into films and dried at
110° C without chemical crosslinking. The content of glucan in the film varied from 7% to …

Endowing hydrogel with antibacterial capability is promising for tissue repair, but most
strategies in the synthesis of antibacterial hydrogel is high-cost and low-yield, suffering from …

The chemical versatility of Poly vinyl alcohol made it a potential agent for various
pharmaceutical and biomedical applications. It is a water soluble and biocompatible …
