Abstract

Hydrogels are cross-linked three-dimensional polymeric networks which can absorb a great quantity of water and keep mechanically stable without dissolution. Due to the biocompatibility and biodegradability, biological hydrogels have been wildly investigated and used in various fields, such as adsorption materials, shape memory materials, self-healing materials, sensor units, super capacitor, drug carriers, and so on. In this chapter, we would focus on some of the upper aspects and give a brief introduction.
