Conductive BNC as a Biomaterial
Among. all. possible. technological. applications. for. BNC-based. hydrogels,.
their. application. as. a. engineered. tissue. biomaterial. or. as. a. platform. for.
drug. administration. and. other. therapeutic. approaches. has. increased. in.
the.last.few.years..As.discussed.previously,.BNC.hydrogels.may.find.useful.industrial.and.biomedical.applications..Three-dimensional.synthesized.
