📢 Introducing Our Publications Showcase Series! 📢 Welcome to our new series, where we highlight cutting-edge research and its real-world impact!  🚀 We kick things off with a study on hydrogel gelation time—a critical factor for applications in medicine, bioprinting, and beyond. This first publication comes from a collaboration between the Changzhou Institute of Technology, Changzhou University and Penn State University. 🧪 Advancing Hydrogel Research with Non-Invasive Techniques! 🌟 Understanding gel time is key to optimizing hydrogels for medical and industrial applications. This study compares traditional rotational rheometry with diffusing wave spectroscopy (DWS)—a non-invasive technique that tracks gelation without disrupting the sample. ✅ Key Findings: 🔹 Traditional rheometry applies force, potentially altering gelation. 🔹 DWS offers real-time insights into gel microstructure without interference. 🔹 pH can fine-tune gelation time for precise control.   Why does it matter? This work paves the way for tailored hydrogels in medicine, bioprinting, and beyond!
