In vitro swelling and degradation tests showed that the 4aPEG-OPA/gelatin hydrogel had a noticeably low swelling ratio (33.3% ± 5.0%), compared with commercially available dural sealants (50% ...

A timelapse of hydrogel swelling over 1.5 hours. Credit: Lenny Van Daele This even distribution of hydrogen is thought to be key to developing scalable radiation shields for both spacecraft and ...

The swelling changes their shape and makes them different from the designed layered skin model. Although non-swelling hydrogels exist, they are usually very challenging to produce, or 3D print.

The swelling changes their shape and makes them different from the designed layered skin model. Although non-swelling hydrogels exist, they are usually very challenging to produce, or 3D print.

The in situ swelling capacity and kinetics of the hydrogels were estimated by immersing them in SOF. The swelling plateau was reached within 4-6 hours, with final swelling ratios of 12 (PL-Gel ...
