Poly (N-vinylpyrrolidinone)(PNVP) has been used in various biomedical applications for
many years. This study explores two PNVP hydrogels for their biocompatibility with skin cells …

Abstract Poly (1-vinyl-2-pyrrolidinone)(PVP) and copolymers of 1-vinyl-2-pyrrolidinone are
insoluble in water when crosslinked but they can absorb very large amounts of water to …

IPN hydrogels based on poly (1-vinyl-2-pyrrolidinone) and gelatin were obtained by casting
of aqueous solution using potassium persulphate and glutaraldehyde as respective …

Hydrogels are three dimensionally crosslinked polymeric network which can retain a huge
amount of water but do not dissolve in water. Polyvinylpyrrolidone (PVP) is a synthetic …

Physical parameters (such as crosslinking density, crystallinity and mechanical properties)
have been found to largely affect cellular behavior on polymer scaffolds. This study …

Synthetic polymer hydrogels have many proven and potential biomedical applications as
wound coverings, drug delivery systems, surgical prostheses, contact lenses and in …

Wounds in adults and fetuses differ in their healing ability with respect to scar formation. In
adults, wounds lacking the epidermis exhibit excess collagen production and scar formation …

Currently, the control of the properties of collagen based hydrogels represents a promising
area of research to develop novel materials for biomedical applications. The crosslinking of …

A hydrogel is a polymeric material that exhibits the ability to swell in water and retains a
significant fraction of water within its structure, but does not dissolve in water. One of the …

Polysaccharides interact with cells in ways that can be conducive to wound healing. We
have recently reported that konjac glucomannan (KGM) which is comprised of D-mannose …
