A comprehensive review of polyvinyl alcohol (PVA) hydrogels prepared by the
freezing/thawing (FT) process is presented. We discuss their preparation, gelation …

Polyvinyl alcohol (PVA) is a synthetic polymer derived from polyvinyl acetate through partial
or full hydroxylation. PVA is commonly used in medical devices due to its low protein …

The extracellular matrix is fundamental in providing an appropriate environment for cell
interaction and signaling to occur. Replicating such a matrix is advantageous in the support …

Elastic chitosan–gelatin cryogels of varying concentration of polymer precursors have been
synthesized using glutaraldehyde as a crosslinking agent. The optimum co-polymer ratio of …

Cryogels obtained by the cryotropic gelation process are macroporous hydrogels with a well-
developed system of interconnected pores and shape memory. There have been significant …

The study focuses on the synthesis of a novel polymeric scaffold having good porosity and
mechanical characteristics synthesized by using natural polymers and their optimization for …

People suffering from pain due to osteoarthritic or rheumatoidal changes in the joints are still
waiting for a better treatment. Although some studies have achieved success in repairing …

Abstract Poly (vinyl alcohol)(PVA) is a hydrophilic and biocompatible polymer that can be
crosslinked to form a hydrogel. When physically crosslinked using a freeze–thaw cycling …

We prepare an elastic macroporous gelatin/chondoitin-6-sulfate/hyaluronan (GCH) cryogel
scaffold mimic the composition of cartilage extracellular matrix for cartilage tissue …

The focus of this work was to design a macroporous scaffold with controlled porosity in
isotropic and anisotropic manner for tissue‐engineering applications. Agarose–gelatin …
