“…48 Considering the excessive consumption of nonrenewable resources and severe environmental pollution, the exploration of hydrogels from renewable resources has drawn significant attention. In recent years, as natural hydrophilic polymers, polysaccharides, including sodium alginate, [49][50][51] carboxymethyl cellulose, 52 chitosan, 53 starch 54 and carrageenan, [55][56] have been widely utilized as starting materials for fabricating hydrogels due to their non-toxicity, biocompatibility, biodegradability, and renewability. [57][58][59] Sodium alginate is a natural polymer with multiple carboxyl groups, which have outstanding coordination capability with divalent or polyvalent metal cations, 60 and is a suitable material for preparing SMHs and intelligent hydrogels.…”
