Hydrogel: Diversity of Structures and Applications in Food Science

Hydrogels are a series of soft and wet materials with three dimensions of crosslinked networks. Hydrogels have attracted great attention due to their diverse functional properties, and their wide range of applications, such as in soft robots and actuators, stretched electronic devices, tissue engineering materials, controlled-release drug delivery vehicles, biomedicine materials, food science, and (bio)sensors. In general, there are four core...
