Click-Crosslinked Injectable Gelatin Hydrogels
Koshy, Sandeep Tharian; Desai, Rajiv M.; Joly, Pascal; Li, Jianyu; Bagrodia, Rishi Kesh; Lewin, Sarah A.; Joshi, Neel S.; Mooney, David J. (Wiley-Blackwell, 2016)Injectable gelatin hydrogels formed with bioorthogonal click chemistry (ClickGel) are cell-responsive ECM mimics for in vitro and in vivo biomaterials applications. Gelatin polymers with pendant norbornene (GelN) or tetrazine ... -
Hybrid Hydrogels with Extremely High Stiffness and Toughness
Li, Jianyu; Illeperuma, Widusha Ruwangi Kaushalya; Suo, Zhigang; Vlassak, Joost J. (American Chemical Society (ACS), 2014)The development of hydrogels for cartilage replacement and soft robotics has highlighted a challenge: load-bearing hydrogels need to be both stiff and tough. Several approaches have been reported to improve the toughness ... -
Mechanical Behavior of Hydrogels for the Use of Ionic Devices
Li, Jianyu (2015-05-04)Wearable and implantable devices hold great promise to transform the society by making healthcare continuous, personalized and affordable. They will enable mobile healthcare by monitoring continuously vital signals, and ... -
A model of ideal elastomeric gels for polyelectrolyte gels
Li, Jianyu; Suo, Zhigang; Vlassak, Joost J. (Royal Society of Chemistry (RSC), 2014)The concept of the ideal elastomeric gel is extended to polyelectrolyte gels and verified using a polyacrylamide-co-acrylic acid hydrogel as a model material system. A comparison between mixing and ion osmosis shows that ... -
Stiff, strong, and tough hydrogels with good chemical stability
Li, Jianyu; Suo, Zhigang; Vlassak, Joost J. (Royal Society of Chemistry (RSC), 2014)Most hydrogels have poor mechanical properties, severely limiting their scope of applications. Here a hybrid hydrogel, consisting of hydrophilic and crystalline polymer networks, achieves an elastic modulus of 5 MPa, a ...
