  Biopolymer Hydrogels: Patent Insights and Emerging Technological Trends

  By Unanza Gulzar

  Abstract: Hydrogel biopolymers have become a valuable resource for next-generation functional materials due to their inherent properties, including compatibility with biological systems, environmental degradability, and minimal toxicity. Intelligent gels that respond to changes in temperature, pH, or ionic strength have various applications across industries like pharmaceuticals, biomedical engineering, and the food sector. This review systematically compiles findings from patent disclosures and non-patent literature to highlight recent trends in biopolymer-based hydrogel research, …
