Conductive hydrogels have attracted tremendous attention in fabricating flexible strain sensors as highly stretchable and biocompatible sensing materials. However, a multifunctional conductive hydrogel simultaneously with high toughness performance for monitoring subtle is still great challenge. Herein, we developed new by using poly(3,4-ethylenedioxythiophene):polystyrene sulfonate (PEDOT:PSS)...

Objective(s): The main aim of current research was to develop a novel magnetically responsive hydrogel by radical polymerization of carboxymethyl cellulose (CMC) on acryl amide (Am) using N,N'-methylene bis acrylamide  (MBA)  as a crosslinking agent, potassium persulfate (KPS) as a free radical initiator, and  magnetic montmorillonite ( mMT)  nanoclay as nano-...

Carbonated hydroxyapatite (CCaHAp) closely mimics the chemical composition of apatite found in human bone, compared to (HA). The present study aimed prepare CCaHAp nanocomposite using a copolymer sodium hyaluronate-polyacrylamide (poly(Hya-AAm)) hydrogel as HA template. Here, gamma irradiation technique was utilized for preparing poly(Hya-AAm) hydrogel. had dual function template and carbon pre...

The present study focuses on the effect of experimental parameters (pH, temperature, gel mass, metal concentration, contact time) performance lead adsorption by polyacrylamide hydrogels. results obtained showed that retention Pb2+ ions is closely linked to these parameters. adsorbent gels equilibrate with solution after 180 minutes, and maximum capacity 442.31 mg/g. In addition, obeys pseudo-se...

The intent of this study was to evaluate the ability low-cost polyacrylamide/starch hybrid hydrogels in removing organic pollutants from wastewater, using phenol as a model compound, besides investigating adsorption/desorption behavior function composition. results indicated that hydrogel with lowest amount starch and crosslinking agent exhibited maximum adsorption capacity, 21 mg g−1. isotherm...

Mechanical property is an important factor of cellular microenvironment for neural tissue regeneration. In this study, polyacrylamide (PAM) hydrogels with systematically varying elastic modulus were prepared using in situ radical polymerization. We found that the hydrogel was biocompatible, and length dorsal root ganglion (DRG)'s axon cell density optimal on 5.1 kPa (among between 3.6 16.5 kPa)...
