  Advances in the Manufacturing and Utilization of Hydrogels Based on Inulin
  Author(s): Liao Jennings*
  
  Hydrogels, with their unique ability to retain large quantities of water, have garnered significant interest in various scientific and industrial applications. Inulin-based hydrogels represent a novel category of these materials, capitalizing on the natural, biodegradable, and biocompatible properties of inulin, a fructan polysaccharide derived from plants. This paper explores the recent advances in the manufacturing and utilization of inulin-based hydrogels. Emphasis is placed on the methods of synthesis, including chemical and physical cross-linking techniques, as well as their functional modifications to enhance properties like mechanical strength, swelling capacity, and responsiveness to environmental stimuli. The diverse applications of inulin-based hydrogels in biomedical fields, agriculture, food industry, and environmental engineering are discussed, hig.. Read More»
