Abstract :

Hydrogels are a group of hydrophilic polymeric materials which has the capability to hold abundant water within their 3D networks. Research on hydrogels has been increased especially in biomedical application owing to their relatively high biocompatibility. At first hydrogels’ only hydrophilic nature and large swelling properties were explored. Persistent and continuous research have resulted in various types of hydrogels. Literature on this subject is found to be expanding especially in the area of research. The article’s primary objective is to review the literature concerning the hydrogels classification on the bases of their physical, chemical characteristics of the products, and technical feasibility of their utilization. Applications of hydrogels ranging from pharmaceutics, biomedical to biotechnology are summarized
