Biological Application of Temperature Responsive Hydrogels
Temperature responsive hydrogel is one of the most widely studied intelligent responsive hydrogels,which can be injected in solution at low temperature. After injection into the body,the stimulation of body temperature causes the hy-drogel material in solution to gel in situ,covering the skin/tissue surface. This review mainly explains the temperature re-sponse mechanism of temperature-responsive hydrogels and their applications in the biological field. Combined with rel-evant researches at home and abroad,the problems existing in the clinical transformation of temperature-responsive hydro-gels in recent years and the future research direction are discussed.
