title: Metal induced gelation from pyridine cored poly(aryl ether) dendrons with in situ synthesis and stabilization of hybrid hydrogel composites.
abstract: Metal induced gel formation from pyridine cored poly(aryl ether) dendrons has been achieved. The gel is successfully utilized as a template for the in situ synthesis of silver nanoparticles (AgNPs) in hydrogel networks without using any external reducing or capping agents for the development of an exceptionally well-ordered AgNP-hybrid hydrogel soft composite.
