Thermosensitive hydrogels based on vinyl-lactams with CNTs have been prepared. CNTs have been functionalized to facilitate dispersion in the precursor formulations, containing vinylcaprolactam (VCL) and vinylpyrrolidone (VP). CNTs increased the compressive modulus of the hydrogels and improved electrical conductivity, while promoting higher rates of adhesion and proliferation of endothelial and neuronal cells.
