Paper of the week: Highly stretchable and resilient hydrogels
Julien Nicolas, web writer
Hydrogels are chemically or physically cross-linked three-dimensional networks that are water insoluble but can absorb a large amount of water or biological fluids and maintain their semisolid morphology. Besides their various applications in superabsorbents, cosmetics and food, contact lenses, actuators and sensors in the materials science domain, hydrogels have become more and more attractive in […]
