23 Jul PVA HYDROGEL, COMPOSITE MATERIAL USING SAME, MANUFACTURING METHOD THEREFOR AND USE THEREOF
Abstract
Provided are a PVA hydrogel and a composite material based on the PVA hydrogel, wherein the PVA hydrogel not only has excellent mechanical properties, a shape memory property, hydrophilcity and biocompatibility, but also has 3D printability and injectability. Also provided is a novel method for manufacturing the PVA hydrogel. Also provided is the use of the PVA hydrogel in a variety of fields such as conduits, 3D printable solutions, injectable electronic devices, micro-fluidic channels, bioabsorbable sensors, microrobots, tissue engineering scaffolds, surgical sutures, medical gloves and condoms.
