About: Hydrogel fiber

An Entity of Type: Thing, from Named Graph: http://dbpedia.org, within Data Space: dbpedia.org

Hydrogel fiber is a hydrogel made into a fibrous state, where its width is significantly smaller than its length. The hydrogel's specific surface area at fibrous form is larger than that of the bulk hydrogel, and its mechanical properties also changed accordingly. As a result of these changes, hydrogel fiber has a faster matter exchange rate and can be woven into different structures. As a water swollen network with usually low toxicity, hydrogel fiber can be used in a variety of biomedical applications such as drug career, optical sensor, and actuator.

  • Hydrogel fiber is a hydrogel made into a fibrous state, where its width is significantly smaller than its length. The hydrogel's specific surface area at fibrous form is larger than that of the bulk hydrogel, and its mechanical properties also changed accordingly. As a result of these changes, hydrogel fiber has a faster matter exchange rate and can be woven into different structures. As a water swollen network with usually low toxicity, hydrogel fiber can be used in a variety of biomedical applications such as drug career, optical sensor, and actuator. But the production of hydrogel fiber can be challenging as the hydrogel is crosslinked and can not be shaped into a fibrous state after polymerization. To make hydrogel into a fibrous state, the pregel solution must be made into fibrous form and then crosslinked while maintaining this shape. (en)
