Background And Purpose: Interpenetrating polymer network (IPN) hydrogels are an adaptable category of materials, exhibiting remarkable promise for various biological applications due to their distinctive structural and functional attributes. This review delves into the synthesis of IPN hydrogels through both physical and chemical methodologies, elucidating how these techniques allow for precise tailoring of mechanical properties, swelling behaviour, and biocompatibility.
Experimental Approach: We conducted an extensive literature review by searching well-established online research databases for articles published since 2009 to gather comprehensive data on IPN hydrogels.
