Furthermore, a one-millimeter-thick hydrogel contains 10,000 layers of nanosheets, which makes the material as stiff as human skin, and gives it a comparable degree of stretch and flexibility.

Now, researchers from Aalto University and the University of Bayreuth have developed a hydrogel that overcomes this limitation, offering new possibilities for artificial skin, wound healing ...

Furthermore, a one-millimetre-thick hydrogel contains 10,000 layers of nanosheets, which makes the material as stiff as human skin, and gives it a comparable degree of stretch and flexibility.

In an exciting scientific discovery, researchers from Aalto University and the University of Bayreuth have developed a revolutionary self-healing hydrogel that mimics the qualities of human skin.

Researchers create gel that can self-heal like human skin The hydrogel has a unique structure, making it the first to combine strength and flexibility with self-healing capabilities Date: March 7 ...

Researchers from Aalto University and the University of Bayreuth have developed a hydrogel that combines high stiffness with self-healing properties, overcoming previous limitations. This development ...

Until now, artificial gels have either managed to replicate this high stiffness or natural skin’s self-healing properties, but not both. Now, a team of researchers from Aalto University and the ...
