Abstract:The exploitation of alginate and its composites as immobilisation support matrices in multiple applications remains a promising field that has the potential to create advanced functional materials from sustainable natural sources. They are non-toxic, allow sol-gel transformation, are biocompatible, have remarkable ion exchange properties, are biodegradable, and are amenable to chemical functionalisation. Alginate and its derived composites have numerous biotechnological and biomedical applications, including b… Show more
