Diabetes mellitus is a serious public health problem, mainly due to the difficulty in healing chronic wounds, which present an inflammatory response for long periods of time and are more vulnerable to infections. Hydrogels are a promising therapeutic...

Tea polyphenols (TP) offer health benefits, but their stability is compromised by sensitivity to environmental factors, limiting their applications. Developing stimulus-responsive delivery systems that precisely control TP release is essential. This...

The paper analyses the effect of the solvent amount and nature on the structure and mechanical properties of hydrogels based on copolymers of 2-hydroxyethylmethacrylate (HEMA) with polyvinylpyrrolidone (PVP). The synthesis of pHEMA-gr-PVP copolymers...

Protein-based hydrogels have emerged as an important class of materials for biomedical applications. However, these hydrogels often exhibit inferior mechanical properties, significantly limiting their potential applicability. Herein, a simplified yet...

Background: Spreadability is a critical performance attribute for semisolid formulations, influencing patient compliance, dose uniformity, and product acceptability. Despite its importance, there is no standardized method for its assessment across ph...

The design of sustainable hydrogel materials with tunable mechanical and thermal properties is essential for emerging applications in flexible and wearable electronics. In this study, hydrogels based on natural gums such as Guar, Tara, and Xanthan an...

This study investigates the impact of ultrasonic treatment on the deagglomeration of aggregates of single-walled carbon nanotubes (SWCNTs) and reduced graphene oxide (rGO). The aim of the research is to enhance the electrical conductivity of a biopol...

This study investigated the influence of coconut oil concentration (0–2%) on the nonlinear rheological and thermal behavior of soy protein concentrate (SPC) mixtures and integrated these data into computational fluid dynamics (CFD) models to pr...

Gel electrolytes have rapidly emerged as indispensable components in modern electrochemical systems, bridging the performance gap between liquid and solid electrolytes [...]

LACMA’s 19th-century Tibetan Altar Table with Auspicious Symbols is characterized by a complex stratigraphy comprising animal glue-based ground and paint layers, a presumably original tung oil-based varnish, and a dark surface layer composed of...
