This review aims at giving selected chemical and mechanical insights on design criteria that should be taken into account in hydrogel production for biomedical applications. Particular emphasis will be given to the chemical aspects involved in hydrogel design: macromer chemical composition, cross-linking strategies and chemistry towards “conventional” and smart/stimuliresponsive hydrogels. Mechanical properties of hydrogels in view of regenerative medicine applications will also be considered.

Abstract

This review aims at giving selected chemical and mechanical insights on design criteria that should be taken into account in hydrogel production for biomedical applications. Particular emphasis will be given to the chemical aspects involved in hydrogel design: macromer chemical composition, cross-linking strategies and chemistry towards “conventional” and smart/stimuliresponsive hydrogels. Mechanical properties of hydrogels in view of regenerative medicine applications will also be considered.
