Supramolecular polymer networks are materials crosslinked by reversible supramolecular
interactions, such as hydrogen bonding or electrostatic interactions. Supramolecular …

It is well-known that surfactants are molecules able to modify the surface properties of the
liquid in which they are introduced (usually water). The simultaneous presence of both …

Water-soluble polymers, as thickeners, are the vital component of high temperature-resistant
fracturing fluids. With the expansion of oil and gas exploration and development to deep …

Stimuli-sensitive block copolymer hydrogels, which are reversible polymer networks formed
by physical interactions and exhibit a sol–gel phase-transition in response to external …

Protein-based hydrogels are used for many applications, ranging from food and cosmetic
thickeners to support matrices for drug delivery and tissue replacement,,. These materials …

Hydrogels were the first biomaterials rationally designed for human use. Beginning with the
pioneering work of Wichterle and Lím on three‐dimensional polymers that swell in water, we …

The design, synthesis, and properties of novel stimuli-sensitive and genetically engineered
biomaterials and drug delivery systems are reviewed. Two approaches to their engineering …
