Composite hydrogels based on gelatin, chitosan and polyvinyl alcohol to biomedical applications: a review
Abstract
Hydrogels produced from a single polymer show several disadvantages to biomedical applications. Binary and ternary blends of chitosan, gelatin, and polyvinyl alcohol can lead to hydrogels with better and desirable properties than those hydrogels made from a single polymer, which may be modulated on purpose. This article provides a brief overview of the advances in the fabrication of composite hydrogels using binary and ternary blends of gelatin, chitosan, and polyvinyl alcohol for biomedical applications, as well as different crosslinkers agents and crosslinking methods used to produce them. The availability of these materials will contribute to future biomaterials to biomedical applications.

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
