  • Nanostructured physically-associating hydrogels for injectable, responsive, and tough biomaterials
    Patent number: 8916683
    Abstract: Described herein are block copolymer conjugates that form double-network hydrogels under appropriate conditions. The conjugates comprise a block of polymer end-group, a block of self-associating peptide or protein, and flexible linkers between the two. Hydrogels comprising the conjugates have the mechanical properties, including elastic modulus and fracture toughness, required for load-bearing applications, while maintaining desirable shear-thinning properties, for example, for injectability.
    Type: Grant
