Hydration dependent mechanical performance of denture adhesive hydrogels

Hydration in denture adhesives regulates the formation of complex morphologies and mechanical function. Multiscale experimental approaches are required to evaluate the impact of hydration on the inherent heterogeneity of denture adhesive-based hydrogels at different length scales and the impact of such phenomena on adhesion performance.
