| Description | Sodium alginate is a natural anionic polysaccharide extracted from brown seaweed, composed of mannuronic (M) and guluronic (G) acid blocks. It is well-known for its ability to form ionically crosslinked hydrogels in the presence of divalent cations (like Ca²⁺) under mild conditions, offering good biocompatibility and biodegradability. |
| Application Areas | Alginate hydrogels are extensively used for cell encapsulation and immobilization, as wound dressing materials, in drug delivery systems for controlled release, and as scaffolds for tissue engineering, particularly for applications requiring gentle gelation conditions. |
