Fabrication Methods of Sustainable Hydrogels

  • Chapter
  • First Online:
Sustainable Polymer Composites and Nanocomposites

Abstract

The interest received on hydrogels probably reflects one of the greatest challenges for the two last decades. Able to hold and release solvents and builds, these three-dimensional polymeric structures work as a network able to reversibly change in response to small physico-chemical modifications in their surroundings. Considering the fantastic amount of available techniques described in the literature, a brief overview of the fabrication methodology is synthesized from physical/chemical cross-linking or polymerization grafting to radiation cross-linking. Thus, this review explores the fabrication and recent applications of hydrogels in various fields including imaging, optics, diagnostics, drug delivery systems or tissue engineering. Extensive use of hydrogels raises some questions about life cycle assessment and how fabricating and/or using sustainable and innovative versions of the intelligent hydrogels of tomorrow.
