Reusable and Recyclable Hydrogel That is Stable Enough for Practical Use

Hydrogels are made of elastic networks of polymer chains that are permeated with water. They are soft, elastic, and biocompatible. As a result, the squishy materials are already widely used in contact lenses and wound care products. In addition, hydrogels have a lot of potential for use in food packaging, agriculture, and drug delivery systems.
