Polymer-Based Hydrogels Applied in Drug Delivery: An Overview

Polymer-Based Hydrogels Applied in Drug Delivery: An Overview Polymer-based hydrogels are hydrophilic polymer networks with crosslinks widely applied for drug delivery applications because of their ability to hold large amounts of water and biological fluids and control drug release based on their unique physicochemical properties and biocompatibility. Current trends in the development of hydrogel drug delivery systems involve the release of drugs in response to specific triggers such as pH, te...
