Novel polymer based hydrogel for biomedical applications. Synthesis, classification and rheological investigation of the hydrogels thixotropic behavior

The project is based on the synthesis and characterization of a novel polymer basedhydrogel, for biomedical applications. The synthesis of the hydrogel was carried out startingfrom the mixture of a silicate nanoparticle (Laponite) with both synthetic and naturalpolymer: poly (ethylene oxide) and collagen I, respectively, in different mediums
