  • Why are polyacrylamide hydrogels used in biomedical applications?
  • For the past half century, polyacrylamide hydrogels have been widely used in biomedical applications (e.g., drug delivery [ 1 ], cell scaffolds [ 2, 3 ], gel electrophoresis [ 4, 5 ]) due to their ease of fabrication, tunable mechanical and transport properties, and charge neutrality.
  • Are polyacrylamide hydrogels equilibrated?
  • Our results suggest that polyacrylamide hydrogels equilibrated in highly basic conditions, even at mild temperatures, are subject to hydrolysis, which can reduce friction coefficient and elastic modulus.
  • What is polyacrylamide?
  • Polyacrylamide is a term that has various definitions. For our purposes here, we will simply term polyacrylamide as a polymer that contains an acrylamide monomer at some level. Polyacrylamides make up the largest group of polymers in comparison to other synthetic polymeric polyelectrolytes.
  • Do redox-initiated polyacrylamide hydrogels slid against glass probes have different friction coefficients?
  • Redox- and UV-initiated polyacrylamide hydrogels slid against glass probes exhibit different friction coefficients and reduced elastic moduli despite having the same acrylamide concentration (≈ 33 wt% before swelling) and molar ratio of monomer to crosslinker (200:1, corresponding to ≈ 0.4 wt% before swelling).
