The major challenge in the synthesis of these multilayered hydrogels was controlling the kinetics of gelation such that polymer entanglement does not occur. This results in the formation of ...

UChicago Pritzker Molecular Engineering study could lead to better brain-machine interfaces, biosensors, and pacemakers ...

Let’s change our perspective’ The typical way of making a hydrogel is to take a material, dissolve it in water, and add the ...

A new hydrogel semiconductor from the University of Chicago offers a groundbreaking solution for bioelectronics, blending ...

We characterize and valorize polysaccharides, especially those obtained as side streams from various bioprocesses, in food and food contact materials. We are interested in understanding the behavior ...

Hydrogels have long been studied for drug delivery applications due to their biocompatibility, mechanical strength, and swelling behaviour.

This is due to a process called "gelation" where the yolk's protein molecules clump and make the liquid harder. Egg content also expands when frozen, which causes whole eggs to crack and leak.

While short peptide-based hydrogels have great potential for a wide range of applications, it is very challenging to control ...

The University of Chicago researchers state that this hydrogel-based semiconductor could be used in various bioelectronics, ...

PoLoPo, a molecular farming startup that grows proteins in potatoes, has signed a Memorandum of Understanding with the global ...

“It contains minerals, vitamins, and compounds like polyphenols and flavonoids. The seeds have functional properties like solubility, water-holding capacity, gelation, and emulsification. Quinoa is ...
