## Abstract To accomplish ideal wound healing dressing, a series of waterborne polyurethane (WBPU) hydrogels based on polyethylene glycol (PEG) were synthesized by polyaddition reaction in an emulsion system. The stable WBPU hydrogels which have remaining weight of above 85% were obtained. The effe
## Abstract Hydrogels that mimic the natural extracellular matrix (ECM) are used in three‐dimensional cell culture, cell therapy, and tissue engineering. A semi‐synthetic ECM based on cross‐linked hyaluronana offers experimental control of both composition and gel stiffness. The mechanical properti
This manuscript presents hydrogels (HGs) from a tissue engineering perspective being especially written for those who are approaching this field by offering a concise but inclusive review of hydrogel synthesis, properties, characterization methods, and applications.
## Abstract Hydrogels studied in this investigation, synthesized starting from agarose and Carbomer 974P, were chosen for their potential use in tissue engineering. The strong ability of hydrogels to mimic living tissues should be complemented with optimized degradation time profiles: a critical pr
