Thermosensitive hydrogels

Thermosensitive hydrogels are smart materials that can change their physical state in response to temperature changes. They are usually liquid at lower temperatures and turn into a gel at higher temperatures, or vice versa. This property allows them to be easily injected into the body where they then solidify or soften depending on the temperature, making them useful for targeted drug delivery, tissue engineering, and wound healing. Their ability to respond dynamically to temperature makes them valuable in medical applications, ensuring controlled release of medications and better integration with body tissues.
