Abstract

Stimuli-responsive hydrogels are a versatile class of materials used in drug delivery, tissue engineering, and smart sensors. This chapter provides an overview of materials and polymers used to create these hydrogels, including natural and synthetic alternatives. This chapter also discusses the biocompatibility, biodegradability, and responsiveness of natural materials such as biopolymers, proteins, and polysaccharides. It also discusses the versatility and tunability of synthetic polymers such as poly(N-isopropylacrylamide), polyethylene glycol, and polyvinyl alcohol. The chapter also explores integrating hybrid materials and nanocomposites to enhance hydrogel properties and responsiveness. This chapter highlights emerging trends and future prospects in the field, such as 3D printing technologies, advanced characterization techniques, and intelligent biomaterials.
