Thermogels are a class of supramolecular hydrogels that exhibit reversible sol–gel phase transitions upon temperature changes and whose unique properties critically dependent on their constituent polymers' hydrophilic–hydrophobic balance. To date, the overwhelming majority thermogelling polymers employ poly(ethylene glycol) (PEG) as archetypical hydrophilic segment, with usage other such polyethylenimine (PEI) virtually unknown. Herein, we expand possibilities in thermogel polymer design...
Diabetes when left untreated can lead to various complications in the eye – at its most severe, leading vision loss. Injectable thermogels provide a minimally-invasive platform that facilitates treatment and recovery of these patients.
Injectable thermoresponsive hydrogels (thermogels), valued for their conformability and minimal invasiveness, are increasingly used as in situ forming implants drug delivery regenerative scaffolds. These gels exhibit sol-to-gel phase transitions at body temperature. As localized depots scaffolds, these determine the chemical mechanical environments could dramatically influence release kinetics of drugs or fate cells. Current synthetic approaches thermogels, however, often limit ability to...
