Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
This Special Issue aims to showcase the latest advancements in polymeric hydrogel research, focusing on synthesis, characterization, and multifaceted applications. By harnessing innovative synthesis techniques. The applications of polymeric hydrogels are wide-ranging and impactful. Biomedical applications include drug/gene delivery for precision therapy, wound healing/dressing, tissue engineering, and 3D-printed scaffolds for regenerative medicine.
This Special Issue invites original research articles, reviews, and perspectives that delve into the diverse aspects of polymeric hydrogels. Topics of interest include:
- Novel synthesis strategies and design principles for polymeric hydrogels
- Advances in characterizing hydrogel structures and properties
- Responsive and functional hydrogels for various biomedical applications
- Industrial implementations and technological innovations utilizing polymeric hydrogels
We welcome contributions that will not only deepen our understanding of polymeric hydrogels but also inspire novel applications across disciplines. This collection of work promises to foster collaboration, stimulate further research, and accelerate the translation of polymeric hydrogel research into real-world solutions.
