There are currently two mainstreams in science. One of them is hydrogels. A huge number of articles have appeared about smart hydrogels, their properties and applications. Hydrogels are made up of two components, polymers and water. However, in articles about hydrogels, water is almost never mentioned. As if it is not in the gels.
The second mainstream in water science is the nuclear quantum effect. It defines the special properties of water compared to other liquids. Therefore, nature has chosen water as the building block of its hydrogels.
The problem of understanding and cognition lies in the fact that polymers and water communicate with each other at the level of quantum mechanics: proton tunneling, zero point energy of water and polymer, quantum and thermal fluctuations.
Science requires the unification of these areas. It is desirable to unite specialists from these two areas to write a review article. Please write to me if the specialists have such a desire.
