The drug instability, toxicity and the barrier to the target area necessitate a suitable drug
delivery system with an external or internal control of the release. Spatio-temporal control …

The growing global energy demand and declining conventional oil supply have accelerated
the use of unconventional heavy crude oils (UHCOs). However, high viscosities of UHCOs …

Amphiphilic hydrogels are widely reported as systems with great potential for controlled drug
release. Nevertheless, the majority of studies make use of functionalization or attachment of …

The main aim of this study was to examine the stability of a range of polyethyleneglycol
dimethacrylate (PEGDMA) hydrogels over a 28-day period in simulated physiological …

A biomimetic surface for water collection was successfully engineered using three-
dimensional (3D) printing technology. The fused deposition modeling-type 3D printing was …

Supramolecular hydrogels formed by the self-assembly of therapeutic agents have received
considerable attention due to their high drug payload and carrier-free features. Herein, we …

The combination of an efficient encapsulation method of small water-soluble substances
with a stimuli-responsive release of defined quantity remains a challenging task. A novel …

A macroporous temperature-responsive poly (N, N-diethylacrylamide)(PDEA) hydrogel was
synthesized and optimized through free radical polymerization. The optimized hydrogel was …

The present study aims to create a controlled release system through the preparation and
characterization of hydrogels based on 2-hydroxyl ethyl methacrylate (HEMA). In order to …

A hydrogel with dual thermo and photoresponsive characteristics was developed. Using
poly (N-isopropylacrylamide)(PNIPAM) as the thermosensitive unit, the hydrogel network …
