This article summarizes various studies on the surface wettability of hydrogels in recent years, emphasizing the importance of both chemistry and topography in modulating the surface wettability. The strategies to tailor the surface wettability of hydrogels are outlined. Finally, the current problems and challenges in this field are discussed. This review is appealing to scientists interested in functional hydrogels and other novel engineered materials.
Hydrogels have drawn widespread attentions in various fields for their superior properties, for example, high water content, transparency, good biocompatibility, variable mechanical strength and facile preparation. Surface properties of hydrogels, especially surface wettability, exhibit significant influences on their applications. In recent years, few strategies have been developed to tailor the surface wettability of hydrogels. It is meaningful to summarize the various reports published over the years, in which the importance of both chemistry and topography is described in terms of the surface wettability of hydrogels. This review will first summarize the basic theory of wettability, and then outline the strategies to modulate the surface wettability of hydrogels. Finally, current problems and challenges on tailoring the surface wettability of hydrogels will also be discussed. This review is supposed to be appealing to scientists interested in functional hydrogels and other novel engineered materials.
