Polysaccharide-Based Hydrogels: The Key Role of Water in Affecting Mechanical Properties
Different hydrogels were prepared starting from natural or semi-synthetic polysaccharides (carboxymethylcellulose, hyaluronic acid and chitosan) which were cross-linked by the addition of a cross-linking agent chosen according to the chemical groups present along the polymer chains. The cross-linkin...
