Abstract

Polymeric gels have attracted interest in the recent years for numerous biological and bioengineering applications. Natural, synthetic, and hybrid polymeric gels can be used as scaffolds, thin films, coatings, and solution-like environment. More recently, new nanotechnology techniques have enabled the development of polymeric gels as “intelligent” materials. In this review, we present ultrasound polymeric gels, hydrogel microarrays in molecular diagnostics, electrophoresis gels, allergy diagnostic gels in immunoassay tests, and polymeric gels for endoscopic purposes.
