## Abstract Poly(vinyl alcohol), PVA, and physical hydrogels derived thereof have an excellent safety profile and a successful history of biomedical applications. However, these materials are hardly in the focus of biomedical research, largely due to poor opportunities in nanoโ and microโscale desi
This ready reference is the first to collate the interdisciplinary knowledge from materials science, bioengineering and nanotechnology to give an in-depth overview of the topic. As such, it provides broad coverage of combinations between inorganic materials and such key biological structures as prot
## Abstract **Summary:** In recent years, intelligent hydrogels which can change their swelling behavior and other properties in response to environmental stimuli such as temperature, pH, solvent composition and electric fields, have attracted great interest. The hydrogels based on polysaccharides
## Abstract By means of a conventional crossโlinking/coโpolymerization reaction of modified gum arabic (MโGA), acrylamide (AAm), and potassium acrylate (KAAc) in the presence of magnetite (Fe~3~O~4~) nanoparticles, a magnetic fieldโsensitive MโGAโbased hydrogel (smart hydrogel) was synthesized to i
