Injectable Self-Healing Glucose-Responsive Hydrogels with pH-Regulated Mechanical Properties

Dynamically restructuring pH-responsive hydrogels are synthesized, employing dynamic covalent chemistry between phenylboronic acid and cis-diol modified poly(ethylene glycol) macromonomers. These gels display shear-thinning behavior, followed by a rapid structural recovery (self-healing). Size-depen...
