Natural polysaccharide-based hydrogels have drawn much concern in the biomedical fields.
Among them, alginate, a natural polyanionic polysaccharide, has become one of the …

Bioinks are formulations of biomaterials and living cells, sometimes with growth factors or
other biomolecules, while extrusion bioprinting is an emerging technique to apply or deposit …

Hydrogels are ideal for various food applications because of their softness, elasticity,
absorbent nature, flexibility, and hygroscopic nature. Polysaccharide hydrogels are …

Background Brown algae are a valuable source of various biopolymers, with alginate
standing out as a phycocolloid of great industrial importance. Although the extraction …

Linear chains in thermoplastics make them relatively weak in performance but inherently
weldable and recyclable. By contrast, thermosets with permanently crosslinked networks …

The acidity of high tannic acid (TA) content solution can destroy the structure of protein, such
as gelatin (G). This causes a big challenge to introduce abundant TA into the G-based …

Ionically, cross-linked alginate gels have a potential to be used in a wide range of
biomedical, environmental and catalytic applications. The study deals with preparation of …

In this review, a historical perspective, functional and application trends of natural polymers
used to the development of edible food packaging were presented and discussed …

Abstract Three-dimensional (3D) bioprinting enables a controlled deposition of cells,
biomaterials, and biological compounds (ie, bioinks) to build complex 3D biological models …

Alginates are a broad family of linear (unbranched) polysaccharides derived from brown
seaweeds and some bacteria. Despite having only two monomers, ie β-d-mannuronate (M) …
