Ultrasound unlocks a safer, greener way to make hydrogels

webfull — Thu, 08 May 2025 13:03:45 +0000

Researchers at 91��, in collaboration with Polytechnique Montréal, pioneered a new way to create hydrogels using ultrasound, eliminating the need for toxic chemical initiators. This breakthrough offers a faster, cleaner and more sustainable approach to hydrogel fabrication, and produces hydrogels that are stronger, more flexible and highly resistant to freezing and dehydration. The new method also promises to facilitate advances in tissue engineering, bioadhesives and 3D bioprinting.

Pamela Dealy knew that her father was born knowing he wanted to be a chemical engineer. She knew that he worked at 91�� for 40 years. She knew that he retired a Professor Emeritus in 2004. Most of all, she knew that even though he was Dean from 1994 to 1999, his true passion was teaching and helping students with their research.
