Check out our new collaborative review article with prof. Dhiraj Bhatia's group on Self-healing, injectable chitosan-based hydrogels: Structure, properties and biological applications.
The review also highlights incorporation of self-healing nature to the widely experimented chitosan biopolymer with various chemical strategies. Click the link below to read it.

Self-healing, injectable chitosan-based hydrogels: Structure, properties and biological applications Conventional biomaterials suffer from mechanical stresses and biochemical degradation, compromising performance and structural integrity. Unlike hydrogels, they cannot repair their inherent structure after damage due to the absence of reversible bonds, but these hydrogels can withstand and reverse d...

SMSE Lab is thrilled to announce our latest publication in the ACS Journal of Chemical Education titled "Colloids and Interfaces: Where Science Meets Engineering, a Hands-on Learning Approach"
This paper mainly focuses on facilitating both the student and teaching community suggesting various experiments to enhance teaching protocols with similar course plans.
