Topics in Biomedical Engineering: Making A Hydrogel

Dr. Freeman and undergraduate students from Virginia Tech describe and make a hydrogel. Hydrogels are used in everything from contact lenses to shoe inserts and even gummi bears. This video was designed for elementary and middle school children. Visit our website: www.rci.rutgers.edu/~motrlab/

So nice! And you want to put this gel into our cells. So inspirational!

[@writerblue8702]

I'm curious as to what photoinitiator you have used? And is it possible for it to also cross-link carboxymethyl-cellulose as the polymer?

[@govindpandey5715]

How super absorbent polymer powder is made plz make a video on that

what photoinitiator they used for making that hidrogel? is it water soluble?

[@isabellaromeo9741]

Could anyone explain in more detail what kind of polymers are suitable to use in this method? Thank you

PPE??? Gloves? Glasses?

[@xcodebeex]

Thank you for the video! Unfortunately, the website link does not work :(

Hi..Dr. freeman..i have a doubt related to chitosan hydrogel making..i studied several research papers but im not satisfied by trying it. mostly i get negative results. please give me some ideas to make chitosan hydrogel

[@7Gia]

To dissolve chitosan you have to use acid f.e. acetic acid. However, pure chitosan is rather weak gelling agent...

[@subhankardas2569]

Can we make hydrogel using starch and photoinitiator?

[@ayatbaloch9379]

Do you find any research paper on the preparation of hydrogel from strach..?

Where are y'all's gloves??
