Hydrogel Degradation

Hydrogel Degradation is a biomaterial degradation process characterized by the progressive breakdown of hydrogel networks through physical disintegration, chemical hydrolysis, or enzymatic cleavage, distinguished by its dependence on the hydrophilic polymer matrix's susceptibility to environmental and biological stimuli.
