Gels have made the transition from brittle materials with few potential applications to high
performance systems with mechanical properties approaching that of rubber. They have a …

Despite the fact that classic autograft is the gold standard material for periodontal plastic
surgery, it has some drawbacks, including the need for a second surgical site and the …

We present a straightforward approach with high moldability for producing dual-responsive
and multi-functional plasmonic hydrogel valves and biomimetic architectures that reversibly …

Starch is an attractive biomaterial given its low cost and high protein repellency, but its use
in forming functional hydrogels is limited by its high viscosity and crystallinity. Herein, we …

Cationic polymers with primary amine groups that can easily be functionalized or coupled
with substrates by complexation or hydrogen bonding are especially advantageous in …

By comprehensively utilizing interfacial tension and ultrafast radical polymerization as
driving forces, we reported here a water droplet templating polymerization strategy to …

Natural soft materials are often composed of proteins that self-assemble into well-defined
structures and display mechanical properties that cannot be matched by manmade …

Interconnected highly porous poly (vinylamine) monoliths are produced by post-
polymerization hydrolysis of emulsion-templated poly (N-vinylformamide) polyHIPEs …

We show that a new type of hydrogel can be prepared by covalently inter-linking binary
blends of microgel (MG) particles and that the swelling ratio and modulus of the gels can be …

The present study involves an investigation of the formation, characterisation and triggered-
degradation of mixed dispersions involving cationic poly (vinylamine-co-bis (ethyl …
