HYDROGEL
What are hydrogels?
A hydrogel consists of a three-dimensional network of flexible polymer chains that can hold and immobilize a large amount of water or aqueous solution.
I am Mariusz Barczak
associate professor at Maria Curie-Skłodowska University in Lublin (Poland)
My research interests include inter alia modern materials with defined properties, including biomaterials, hybrid materials and nanomaterials, as well as nanotechnology, thin films, sol-gel methods as well as applications of various types of materials in everyday life, industry and environmental protection.

Hydrogels
A hydrogel consists of a three-dimensional network of flexible polymer chains that can hold and immobilize a large amount of water or aqueous solution. The hydrogels are systems with a great scientific-technical interest, since they combine a very high porosity and a typical mechanical behavior of viscoelastic solid.
My Research Results
In the last years, hydrogels have received a huge interest as very promising candidates for engineered tissue scaffolds. The ability to control the shape, porosity, surface morphology, and size of hydrogel scaffolds has created new opportunities to overcome various challenges in tissue engineering. (…)
