Hydrogel is a threedimensional crosslinked hydrophilic network that can imbibe a large
amount of water inside its structure (up to 99% of its dry weight). Due to their unique …

Glaucoma is extensively treated with topical eye drops containing drugs. However, the
retention time of the loaded drugs and the in vivo bioavailability of the drugs are highly …

A novel viscous dissipation potential is proposed for the visco-hyperelastic constitutive
modeling of short-time memory responses of soft materials, which can capture both linear …

In isotropic linear elasticity, a constitutive model calibrated using a single deformation mode
(eg, compression or tension or shear) is sufficient to describe a complex three-dimensional …

The efficacy of hydrogel materials used in biomedical applications is dependent on polymer
network topology and the structure of water-laden pore space. Hydrogel microstructure can …

A hydrogel is a 3D cross-linked polymer network that can absorb copious amounts of water
or biological fluid. Due to their biocompatibility and non-toxicity, hydrogels have a wide …

Many biological hydrogels possess remarkable mechanical performances under both quasi-
static and impact loadings, yet such mechanical robustness over a wide range of strain rates …

A novel data-driven constitutive modeling approach is proposed, which combines the
physics-informed nature of modeling based on continuum thermodynamics with the benefits …

A major obstacle in the accurate measurement of the dynamic tensile response of soft
materials is the issue of obtaining material response under simultaneous stress equilibrium …

Hydrogels are emerging as a potential material for tissue engineering. However, weak
mechanical strength is limiting its application in many diversified fields that includes tissue …
