Abstract:

Alginate is a naturally occurring polymer which has gained significant attention in the last several decades as sustainable biomaterials for numerous applications. The biocompatibility, biodegradability, ease of gelation, rich hydroxyl and carboxylate groups in its chemical structure, water solubility, and low cost of alginate have motivated its rapid applications in various fields. In this chapter, the synthesis and recent advancements in applying alginate-based biomaterials are broadly described. After a short introduction, the main fabrication methods of alginate-based materials are analyzed. Then, the current applications of alginate-based biomaterials in environmental remediation, agriculture, and biomedical engineering are detailed. The emphasis is put on correlating the structure-performance relationship of alginate-based composites. The research perspectives in this field are finally underscored.
