WHAT DOES HYDROGEL MEAN IN ENGLISH?

hydrogel

Gel

A gel is a solid, jelly-like material that can have properties ranging from soft and weak to hard and tough. Gels are defined as a substantially dilute cross-linked system, which exhibits no flow when in the steady-state. By weight, gels are mostly liquid, yet they behave like solids due to a three-dimensional cross-linked network within the liquid. It is the crosslinking within the fluid that give a gel its structure and contribute to the adhesive stick. In this way gels are a dispersion of molecules of a liquid within a solid in which the solid is the continuous phase and the liquid is the discontinuous phase. IUPAC definition Gel: Nonfluid colloidal network or polymer network that is expanded throughout its whole volume by a fluid. Note 1: A gel has a finite, usually rather small, yield stress. Note 2: A gel can contain: a covalent polymer network, e.g., a network formed by crosslinking polymer chains or by nonlinear polymerization; a polymer network formed through the physical aggregation of polymer chains, caused by hydrogen bonds, crystallization, helix formation, complexation, etc.

Definition of hydrogel in the English dictionary

The definition of hydrogel in the dictionary is a gel in which the liquid constituent is water.
