Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
In the realm of hydrogel research, the pursuit of high performance has emerged as a driving force behind the innovation and application of these materials. This focused Special Issue, entitled “High-Performance Hydrogel”, aims to provide a platform for the latest developments in hydrogel performance. In this Special Issue, we aim to explore the mechanical robustness, responsive characteristics, and exceptional absorption capabilities that characterize these hydrogels. We also aim to investigate how stability, longevity, and tailored designs contribute to diverse applications in biomedical, environmental, and other cutting-edge fields. As we continue to redefine possibilities, we invite you to join us in unveiling the next generation of high-performance hydrogel.
Dr. Jae Hyun Jeong
