Current development of biodegradable polymeric materials for biomedical applications (2018, background): “In its hydrogel form, it can efficiently entrap drugs in interstitial spaces, thus protecting them from undesirable conditions in the human body.(125) In addition, starch hydrogels are resistant to gastric juices, allowing for potential oral drug-delivery systems, and they can be modified to be”
Stimulus-responsive hydrogels in food science: A review (2022, background): “…comprised of two polymers with the same structure that each forms a separate polymer network; and (iii) semi-IPNs, one component is a cross-linked polymer network, while the other polymer consists of linear chains interspersed within the polymer network (Dragan, 2014; Gupta & Srivastava, 1994).”
Dye removal by biosorption using cross-linked chitosan-based hydrogels (2019, background): “Dragan (2014) reviewed the main synthesis strategies of fully- and semi-interpenetrating network hydrogels and their potential applications.”
