Development Of Hydrogels with Self-Healing Properties for Delivery of Bioactive Agents: A Compressive Review
Abstract
Hydrogels are three-dimensional polymeric networks capable of retaining large amounts of water, making them highly suitable for biomedical applications. However, conventional hydrogels suffer from poor mechanical strength and structural instability. The incorporation of self-healing properties into hydrogels has emerged as a promising strategy to overcome these limitations. Self-healing hydrogels possess the ability to autonomously repair structural damage through dynamic reversible interactions. These systems are particularly advantageous for the controlled delivery of bioactive agents such as drugs, proteins, and growth factors. This paper focuses on the design, mechanisms, formulation strategies, characterization, and applications of self-healing hydrogels in bioactive agent delivery.
