Summary: In this study, Schiff-base controlled release fertilizer (CRF) hydrogels composed of dialdehyde xanthan gum (DAXG) and gelatin were fabricated through a simple in situ crosslinking reaction. Increasing the content of DAXG in the hydrogels resulted in a compact network structure. Phytotoxic assay indicated that the hydrogels were non-toxic to different plants. The hydrogels exhibited good water-retention behavior in soil and remained reusable even after 5 cycles. The release of urea from the hydrogels followed a controlled release profile influenced by macromolecular relaxation. Growth assays on Abelmoschus esculentus (Okra) plant provided an intuitive evaluation on the performance of the CRF hydrogel in terms of growth and water-holding capacity. This study demonstrated a facile method for preparing CRF hydrogels to improve urea utilization and soil moisture retention.

Summary: This article evaluates the highly potent antimicrobial hydrogels composed of cellulose and Arabic gum containing sulfadiazine drug as drug-targeting carriers. Various methods such as ATR-IR, SEM/EDS, XRD, and XPS were used for investigation. The hydrogel exhibited high water absorption, swelling behavior governed by pseudo-second order and Fickian diffusion. The in-vitro drug release showed significant responses and can be predicted by the first order and Korsmeyer-Peppas models. The incorporation of sulfadiazine enhanced the thermal stability and inhibitory effect of the hydrogel drug carrier.

Summary: Crosslinking affects the mechanical behavior and tissue metabolism of collagen-based tissues. Aging and diabetes alter the crosslinking type and density, thus changing tissue properties. High-connectivity enzymatic crosslinking and advanced-glycation end-products result in uniform deformation under daily activity, while low-connectivity enzymatic crosslinking does not. High-connectivity model displays more sliding, while AGEs induce instability in structures near the binding sites.
