Hydrogel
| Polymer science |

A hydrogel is a biphasic material, a mixture of porous and permeable solids and at least 10% of water or other interstitial fluid.[1][2] The solid phase is a water insoluble three dimensional network of polymers, having absorbed a large amount of water or biological fluids.[2][3][4][5] Hydrogels have several applications, especially in the biomedical area, such as in hydrogel dressing. Many hydrogels are synthetic, but some are derived from natural materials.[6][7] The term "hydrogel" was coined in 1894.[8]
