New trends in biomedical applications of the hybrid polymeric hydrogels, obtained by
combining natural polymers with synthetic ones, have been reviewed …

Interpenetrating polymer networks (IPN) hydrogels have gained great attention in the last
decades, mainly due to their biomedical applications. This review aims to give an overview …

Consumer trends towards environmentally friendly products are driving plastics industries to
investigate more benign alternatives to petroleum-based polymers. In the case of adhesives …

Starch is a natural, renewable, and biodegradable polymer produced by many plants as a
source of stored energy. The structural and functional diversity of starches makes them …

Crosslinked hydrophilic polymers with high water absorption rates are known as
superabsorbent polymers (SAPs). Most commercial superabsorbent polymers are made with …

Most dried hydrogels (xerogels) require a long time to reach equilibrium swelling due to the
slow absorption of water by diffusion. Superporous hydrogels (SPHs) have been developed …

Semi-interpenetrating polymer network (semi-IPN) composite hydrogels based on
polyacrylamide (PAAm) as a matrix and either native potatoes starch (PS) or the hydrolyzed …

At present, the growing environmental concerns have strengthened the use of
biodegradable and natural polymers in the synthesis of superabsorbent polymer (SAP) …

Biodegradable polymers from renewable resources have attracted much attention in recent
years. Starch has been considered as one of the most promising candidates among …
