Seminar “Engineering Injectable Hydrogels for Biomedical Applications”, by Todd Hoare, Associate Professor, Department of Chemical Engineering, McMaster University

ABSTRACT: Hydrogels have been widely applied in medicine for applications including controlled release drug delivery, tissue engineering, wound healing, and ocular devices.  Hydrogels based on “smart” materials that reversibly swell and deswell according to their environment offer additional advantages in terms of providing switchable physical and biological properties under relevant in vivo conditions.   However, conventional synthetic “smart” hydrogels suffer from significant limitations in medical applications in terms of their difficulty to non-invasively admin
