| 摘要 |
<p>Disclosed herein is a hydrogel/fibre composite structure producible by a method comprising: partially impregnating fibres of a water-swellable fibrous material with an aqueous hydrogel precursor solution comprising at least one polymerisable, and optionally crosslinkable, monomer such that at least partial swelling of the impregnated fibres takes place, and polymerising, and optionally crosslinking, the at least one monomer after impregnation of the fibres and at least partial swelling of the fibres to form the hydrogel within the impregnated fibres of the fibrous material, such that the integrity of the fibrous material is at least partially preserved in the resulting hydrogel/fibre composite. A method of producing the hydrogel/fibre composite structure and a biomedical product comprising the hydrogel/fibre composite structure are also disclosed herein.</p> |
