| Popis: | The 3D polymer network of hydrogels got immense importance because of distinctive characteristics like high water content, flexible and soft nature, biodegradable, and biocompatible behavior. These materials can be produced by physical or chemical cross-linking of the usual natural and synthetic hydrophilic polymer chains into a 3D network structure. The resemblances of hydrogels with the living body tissues make these materials to be applied extensively in the biomedical field. The present study emphasizes the main characteristics and use of hydrogels in biomedical fields. This review provides the reader with a comprehensive detail of the polymer hydrogel based inventions and products as well as perspective on future potential developments. |
