Synthesis and characterization of starch ether/alginate hydrogels with reversible and tunable thermoresponsive properties

A thermoresponsive hydrogel that was composed of 2-hydroxy-3-isopropoxypropyl starch (HIPS) and alginate was synthesized via cross-linking with hybrid crosslinkers including ethylene glycol diglycidyl ether (EDGE) and calcium chloride (CaCl _2 ). Attenuated total reflection infrared spectroscopy (AT...
