Rheological properties of peptide-based hydrogels for biomedical and other applications Yan C; Pochan DJChem Soc Rev 2010[Sep]; 39 (9): 3528-40Peptide-based hydrogels are an important class of biomaterials finding use in food industry and potential use in tissue engineering, drug delivery and microfluidics. A primary experimental method to explore the physical properties of these hydrogels is rheology. A fundamental understanding of peptide hydrogel mechanical properties and underlying molecular mechanisms is crucial for determining whether these biomaterials are potentially suitable for biotechnological uses. In this critical review, we cover the literature containing rheological characterization of the physical properties of peptide and polypeptide-based hydrogels including hydrogel bulk mechanical properties, gelation mechanisms, and the behavior of hydrogels during and after flow (219 references).|*Drug Delivery Systems[MESH]|*Rheology[MESH]|*Tissue Engineering[MESH]|Animals[MESH]|Humans[MESH]|Hydrogels/*chemistry[MESH]|Peptide Fragments/*chemistry[MESH] |
