What is it about?
The water-soluble polymer can make hydrogel spontaneously by specific molecular interaction between polymer chains.

Why is it important?
Only one polymer component can make hydrogel by self-assemble formation.
Perspectives
The spontaneous hydrogel formation can apply for cell immobilization, bioactive molecules immobilization and releasing.
