Incorporation of supramolecular hydrogels into agarose hydrogels—a potential drug delivery carrier
Abstract
In this study, we investigated the incorporation of multi-component supramolecular hydrogels into agarose hydrogels to create novel hybrid hydrogels. The fracture stresses of the hybrid hydrogels were at least 20 times higher than those of supramolecular hydrogels. The hybrid hydrogels could be fabricated into different shapes, and they allowed other components to be incorporated. We used
