Hydrogel is a three-dimensional, cross-linked network of hydrophilic polymers that can absorb and retain a significant amount of water.
It is composed of water and polymer chains, creating a gel-like structure with a high water content, typically over 90%.
Hydrogels can be made from various natural or synthetic polymers, including polyacrylamide, polyethylene glycol (PEG), agarose, and alginate.
They exhibit unique properties such as high water absorption capacity, biocompatibility, and tunable mechanical properties.
