Green nanocomposite gels based on binary network of sodium alginate and percolating halloysite clay nanotubes for 3D printing

A review on the synthesis and development of alginate hydrogels for wound therapy

“…230 3D printing has been used to produce human tissues. 231 Alginate saline gel material has a variety of methods to achieve rapid crosslinking and solidification, 232 so it is very suitable for 3D printing. Moreover, alginate saline gel structure can load and culture cells.…”

Sodium Alginate-Based Functional Materials toward Sustainable Applications: Water Treatment and Energy Storage

“…Notably, brittle SA hydrogels normally show mechanical weaknesses. 79,80 There are currently two strategies to tackle this problem. First, micro/nanoparticles as reinforcements (e.g., clay, graphene nanosheets, and alumina platelets) are introduced into the alginate matrix to strengthen the mechanical properties of SA hydrogels.…”

First, micro/nanoparticles as reinforcements (e.g., clay, graphene nanosheets, and alumina platelets) are introduced into the alginate matrix to strengthen the mechanical properties of SA hydrogels. − Millimeter-sized HNTs/SA beads fabricated via a gelation method for methylene blue (MB) removal were synthesized to enhance adsorption capacity, recyclability, and reduce secondary wastes (Figure d) .…”

Preparation of a novel regenerated silk fibroin-based hydrogel for extrusion bioprinting

“…[17][18][19] A wide variety of materials have been developed for extrusion-based bioprinting inks, including ceramics, 20 glass, 21 synthetic polymers, 22 and natural polymers. 23,24 Proteins are important components of cells, extracellular matrix, and a variety of biological structures, and therefore protein-based inks are expected to reduce immune reactions and aid material and host integration. Furthermore, they gradually degrade over time, yielding peptides and amino acids that can be utilized as nutrients in the body.…”
