Figure 1: Schematic figure represents the sol-gel transition in hydrogel. The sol-gel transition is triggered by specific environmental stimuli, such as changes in temperature, pH, light, ions, or the presence of certain chemicals or biomolecules. When these stimuli are applied, the hydrogel undergoes a phase transition, transforming from a sol into a gel or vice versa. This transition allows the hydrogel to change its physical properties, such as swelling, volume, and mechanical strength, in response to the external triggers. Upon reaching the desired location, the hydrogel can undergo the sol-gel transition, releasing the drug at the target site while minimizing systemic exposure and side effects.
