Shape memory composite hydrogel based on sodium alginate dual crosslinked network with carboxymethyl cellulose

Based on the need for whole biomass hydrogels in biomedical applications, a dual-crosslinked hydrogel based on natural product sodium alginate (SA) were prepared. Dual-crosslinked was formed by SA crosslinking with glutaraldehyde (GA) and calcium ion (Ca2+), and the introduction of carboxymethyl cellulose (CMC) into crosslinked network to obtain excellent water-induced shape memory property. The chemical and physical crosslinking net points,...
