Modification of solution viscosity using multivalent polymers has been accomplished through dynamic cross-linking in water using CB[8]. These hydrogels, with extremely high water content (up to 99.75% water by weight), have also been prepared by utilising renewable cellulose derivatives. Their rapid formation and shear-induced flow properties make these materials perfectly suited for use as injectable hydrogels for delivery of therapeutics.
