What is extraordinary, however, is that if the solution is diluted even further, a gel once again forms. Other supramolecular structures now form and it becomes a hydrogel again.

Researchers have developed a new method to improve the structural and functional stability and long-term storage of hydrogel ...

Because the pre-hydrogel solution coming out of the 3D printer has a very low viscosity, you can't print the solution onto a regular substrate—or you'd have a puddle instead of a 3D structure.

In chemistry, everyone learns that you can go from a hydrogel to a liquid by diluting the hydrogel with water. For the reverse transition, you increase the concentration. However, TU/e researchers ...

Because the pre-hydrogel solution coming out of the 3D printer has a very low viscosity, you can’t print the solution onto a regular substrate – or you’d have a puddle instead of a 3D structure. To ...

The hydrogel’s microstructure was inspired by processes taking place in the natural world. For example, shark scales have a ribbed structure to reduce fouling on the shark’s skin.

Because the pre-hydrogel solution coming out of the 3D printer has a very low viscosity, you can't print the solution onto a regular substrate -- or you'd have a puddle instead of a 3D structure.

The Food and Drug Administration (FDA) has approved Zusduri (mitomycin intravesical solution) for adults with recurrent low-grade intermediate-risk non-muscle invasive bladder cancer (NMIBC).

The hydrogel injections are not a cure-all, and did not necessarily provide a permanent solution to local bone weakening. Still, combining it with existing therapy may help speed up patients ...

A hydrogel is a gel made of a type of plastic that can bind water. Researchers at ETH Zurich and Empa have now developed the first hydrogel implant designed for use in fallopian tubes.

An international team of researchers has embedded gold nanorods in hydrogels that can be processed through 3D printing to create structures that contract when exposed to light – and expand again when ...
