Application of Polysaccharides in Hydrogel Biomaterials.

ABSTRACT: Natural compounds incorporated into hydrogel materials have been widely used to support wound healing due to their numerous properties. The aim of this research was to produce hydrogel biomaterials with the addition of adjuvants, such as sodium alginate and polyethylene glycol diacrylate (PEGDA) with the addition of ethylene ginger extract (EEI). A thermogravimetric (TG) study, differential scanning calorimetry (DSC), dynamic mechanical analysis (DMA), water absorption testing and microscopic analysis were carried out to determine the properties of the developed dressing. The conducted research showed that the 4%Alg/12%PEGDA hydrogel was characterized by the best water absorption values and the slowest weight loss as a function of temperature. Additionally, the 4%Alg/12%PEGDA hydrogel had
