Glossary Hydrogel

network of water-absorbing polymer chains

A hydrogel is a network of polymer chains that are hydrophilic, meaning they can absorb and retain large amounts of water. These materials are often used in medical applications, such as wound dressings and drug delivery systems, because they can provide a moist environment and release therapeutic agents over time.
