In Situ Growth of Silver Nanoparticles into Reducing-End Carbohydrate-Based Supramolecular Hydrogels for Antimicrobial Applications

Hydrogels with antibacterial activities have the potential for many biomedical applications, such as wound healing, because of their capacity to maintain a moist environment and prevent infections. In this work, an ultrasound-induced supramolecular hydrogel consisting of easily accessible reducing-end-free glucosaminylbarbiturate-based hydrogelators that serve the
