- Hydrogel - Wikipedia
A hydrogel is a biphasic material, a mixture of porous and permeable solids and at least 10% of water or other interstitial fluid [1][2] The solid phase is a water insoluble three dimensional network of polymers, having absorbed a large amount of water or biological fluids [2][3][4][5] Hydrogels have several applications, especially in the

Liquid water trapped in tangled polymers gives this material strangely useful properties This close-up shows colorful hydrogel toy spheres known as “orbeez" or water beads These are pretty when all plumped up but they're not meant for eating
- Hydrogel - an overview | ScienceDirect Topics
A hydrogel is a network of hydrophilic polymers that are crosslinked either through physical entanglement (reversible hydrogel) or covalent bonds (permanent hydrogel), whilst a gel is a semi-solid material of hydrophilic polymers consisting of large amounts of liquid and small amounts of solids

A hydrogel is a three-dimensional structure made of natural or synthetic polymers This three-dimensional polymer network is capable of retaining significant amounts of water or biological fluids
- What is Hydrogel? - Definition, Types, Functions, Uses and Preparation . . .
Hydrogel is a hydrophilic polymer synthesized from natural or synthetic materials with a three-dimensional network structure Due to the presence of hydrophilic groups such as -NH 2, -COOH, and -OH, hydrogen bonds can be formed with water molecules inside the hydrogel network, allowing the hydrogel to absorb and retain a large amount of water
- Fundamental Concepts of Hydrogels: Synthesis, Properties, and Their . . .
In the present review, we focused on the fundamental concepts of hydrogels—classification, the polymers involved, synthesis methods, types of hydrogels, properties, and applications of the hydrogel
