Structural considerations for physical hydrogels based on polymer–nanoparticle interactions
Anthony C. Yu, Anton A. A. Smith, Eric A. Appel
Abstract
Designing supramolecular hydrogels for complex translational applications requires the ability to engineer viscoelasticity and flow behaviour at the bulk scale as well as the network structure at the nano and micro scales.
