What is it about?
Polyvinyl alcohol (PVA) hydrogels show great biocompatibility. This review article looks at the different types of additives that can be used to make PVA hydrogels more biocompatible, how such materials work and what their future looks like. The work looks at the most popular materials and summarizes all the main mechanisms of action.
