PVA Hydrogels

PVA hydrogels are soft, water-rich materials made from polyvinyl alcohol polymers. They can absorb and hold large amounts of water, making them flexible and biocompatible. Used in medical applications such as contact lenses, wound dressings, and tissue engineering, PVA hydrogels mimic natural tissue properties, providing a moist environment that promotes healing. Their unique structure allows them to be engineered for specific functions, like controlled drug release or mimicking biological tissues, making them versatile in biomedical fields.
