Organic solvent-assisted control of hydrogel structures and properties by Zhou, Quan

“…However, major limitations still exist for hydrogels, especially their mechanical weakness, which limits their use in load-bearing applications. In addition, due to their soft and wet nature, it remains technically challenging to generate hydrogel structures with complex geometries as the well-established techniques developed for shaping traditional engineering materials, such as machining and lithography, are no longer useful. …”
