Bio-based stimuli-responsive materials for biomedical applications. Issue 2 (5th January 2023) - Ma, Wenjing
Abstract : Bio-based stimuli responsive materials have been widely studied as highly versatile materials in biomedical applications. Abstract : Bio-based stimuli responsive materials have been widely studied as highly versatile materials in biomedical applications. In this review, different types of bio-based stimuli-responsive materials are introduced (most of them are carbohydrate polymers). The response mechanisms are explained and the advantages/drawbacks of the materials are discussed. Particularly in bio-based stimuli-responsive drug delivery and in bio-based drug anticounterfeiting fields, the response mechanisms and advantages are discussed, and the shortcomings are also mentioned.
