BIODEGRADABLE HYDROGELS AND NANOCOMPOSITE POLYMERS: SYNTHESIS AND CHARACTERIZATION FOR BIOMEDICAL APPLICATIONS

Hydrogels are popular materials for biological applications since they exhibit properties like that of natural soft tissue and have tunable properties. Biodegradable hydrogels provide an added advantage in that they degrade in an aqueous environment thereby avoiding the need for removal after the us...
