The major challenge in the synthesis of these multilayered hydrogels was controlling the kinetics of gelation such that polymer entanglement does not occur. This results in the formation of ...

UChicago Pritzker Molecular Engineering study could lead to better brain-machine interfaces, biosensors, and pacemakers ...

negatively charged nanoparticles bound to a fluid area of the membrane induced gelation, whereas positively charged nanoparticles turned gelled areas into a fluid state. Experiments with liposomes ...

We characterize and valorize polysaccharides, especially those obtained as side streams from various bioprocesses, in food and food contact materials. We are interested in understanding the behavior ...

A new hydrogel semiconductor from the University of Chicago offers a groundbreaking solution for bioelectronics, blending ...

Hydrogels have long been studied for drug delivery applications due to their biocompatibility, mechanical strength, and swelling behaviour.

This is due to a process called "gelation" where the yolk's protein molecules clump and make the liquid harder. Egg content also expands when frozen, which causes whole eggs to crack and leak.

Let’s change our perspective’ The typical way of making a hydrogel is to take a material, dissolve it in water, and add the gelation chemicals to puff the new liquid into a gel form.

The University of Chicago researchers state that this hydrogel-based semiconductor could be used in various bioelectronics, ...

While short peptide-based hydrogels have great potential for a wide range of applications, it is very challenging to control ...

PoLoPo, a molecular farming startup that grows proteins in potatoes, has signed a Memorandum of Understanding with the global ...

“It contains minerals, vitamins, and compounds like polyphenols and flavonoids. The seeds have functional properties like solubility, water-holding capacity, gelation, and emulsification. Quinoa is ...
