Throughout history, oral administration has been regarded as the most convenient mode of
drug delivery, as it requires minimal expertise and invasiveness. Although oral delivery …

Hydrogels are cross-linked polymeric networks swollen in water, physiological aqueous
solutions or biological fluids. They are synthesized by a wide range of polymerization …

A typical description of interpenetrating polymer networks (IPN) can be surprisingly simple,
systems that consist of two crosslinked polymer networks that are physically entangled but …

Phenylboronic acids have emerged as synthetic receptors that can reversibly bind to cis-
diols of glucose molecules. The incorporation of phenylboronic acids in hydrogels offers …

Hydrogels have become key players in the field of drug delivery owing to their great
versatility in terms of composition and adjustability to various administration routes, from …

The decorative and fireproof performance degradation of the grouting fireproof glass
exposed to UV irradiation limits its application in the fire protection of buildings. To solve this …

Synthetic polymer gels possess unique combination of acceptable biocompatibility with
tailorable mechanical and degradation properties. They can be synthesized by several …

New interpenetrated hydrogels (IPN), sensitive to pH and temperature, were synthesized by
sequential free radical polymerizations in aqueous medium. In the first stage, a …

Rubber networks are important and form the basis for materials with properties ranging from
rubber tires to super absorbents and contact lenses. The development of the entropy ideas …
