- Recent Developments of Carboxymethyl Cellulose (2021, background): “Their tissue-like structure and such high water absorbing and retaining properties have encouraged researchers to use them in potent drug delivery and wound dressing applications [268].”
- Chitosan as a Wound Dressing Starting Material: Antimicrobial Properties and Mode of Action (2019, background): “Hydrogels • high absorption properties • provide a moist environment at the wound site • water retention • oxygen permeability • ensure the solubility of growth factor/antimicrobial agents • weak mechanical properties • need for a secondary dressing [127,135,203]”
- Stimulus-responsive hydrogels in food science: A review (2022, positive): “Chemical cross-linking methods include free radical-, grafting-, and radiation-polymerization approaches (Ahmed, 2015; Akhtar, Hanif, & Ranjha, 2016).”
- Polymer-Based Hydrogels Applied in Drug Delivery: An Overview (2023, background): “The swelling capability of polymer-based hydrogels is particularly noteworthy, as it allows them to absorb and retain significant amounts of water and biological fluids [44,45], rendering them a highly desirable material for use in medicine and healthcare applications [46,47].”
- Dye removal by biosorption using cross-linked chitosan-based hydrogels (2019, methodology): “However, this aspect is often neglected in the literature (Ahmed 2015; Crini 2015; Mohamed et al.”
- Preparation and characterization of nanocellulose reinforced semi-interpenetrating polymer network of chitosan hydrogel (2017, background): “…as reinforcing agents because of their favorable properties, such as large surface area, high mechanical strength, low density, non-toxic nature, high aspect ratio, biocompatibility, and biodegradability (Ahmed 2015; Ching and Ng 2014; Goh et al. 2016; Park et al. 2015; Yang et al. 2012, 2013).”
