Ionic hydrogels

Ionic hydrogels are soft, water-rich materials that contain charged particles called ions. These ions give the hydrogel unique properties, such as responsiveness to electric fields and the ability to attract or repel other charged substances. This makes ionic hydrogels useful in various biomedical applications like wound dressings, drug delivery, and tissue engineering. Their flexibility, biocompatibility, and ability to interact with biological ions enable them to mimic natural tissues and respond dynamically to their environment, offering innovative solutions in healthcare and materials science.
