Hydrogel is a three-dimensional network of hydrophilic polymers that can hold a large amount of water while maintaining the structure due to the chemical or physical cross-linking of individual polymer chains. They can swell in water. There must be at least 10% water content of the total weight/volume for a material to be a hydrogel. Hydrogen undergoes a volume phase transition in response to physical and chemical stimuli such as temperature, electric and magnetic fields, solvent composition, light intensity, pressure, pH, ions, and specific chemical compositions and can return to its initial state after a reaction as soon as the trigger is removed.
