Hydrogels: their future, Part II.
A multitude of new materials with diverse properties can be made from poly(ethylene oxide). Part I of this two-part article described the range of biomaterial syntheses, properties and applications that can be obtained. The production of a novel class of responsive hydrogels for transducing and sensing applications is reviewed in Part II.
