Convenient and low-cost dressings can reduce the difficulty of wound treatment. Alginate gel
dressings have the advantages of low cost and safe usage, and they have obvious potential …

Polymer-based composite scaffolds are an attractive class of biomaterials due to their
suitable physical and mechanical performance as well as appropriate biological properties …

Ionic conductive hydrogels are an ideal material for use in flexible strain sensors due to their
electrical conductivity, accurate data retrieval, and extensibility. However, conventional ionic …

A new two-step method is suggested for the preparation of homogeneous alginate gels. In
the first step, alginate chains are weakly bonded by Ca 2+ ions in an aqueous solution with …

Alginate is an important natural biopolymer and metal ion-induced gelation is one of its most
significant functional properties. Alginate-based hydrogels crosslinked with metal ions are …

The colon is a main absorption site (nutrients and drugs) and a target for oral therapeutic
delivery. However, the latter is challenged by the fact that most drugs degrade during transit …

A large number of studies have shown that the modification of biochar can greatly improve
its adsorption capacity. This study adopts a one-step ball milling technology without solvent …

Dissolvable hydrogels have shown great potentials in removing the exudes and alleviating
pain during wound dressing replacement. Herein, a series of carbon dots (CDs) composing …

We performed molecular dynamics (MD) simulations of octameric galacturonate, GalA8,
chains in the presence of Ca2+ in a ratio of R=[Ca2+]/[GalA]= 0.25 in order to determine to …

To improve the features of alginate-based hydrogels in physiological conditions, Ca 2+-
crosslinked semi-interpenetrated hydrogels formed by poly (3, 4-ethylenedioxythiophene) …
