“…Due to their superior properties, highly absorbent hydrogels are used in a wide range of applications, such as agriculture, cosmetics, wastewater treatment, drug delivery, tissue engineering, biosensors, and adsorbents for heavy metals and dyes. 18,21,22 Hydrogels with characteristic responses to external stimuli such as temperature, pH, light, electricity, salt concentration, and ionic strength are often called "smart" hydro-gels and have great potential for applications in various fields. 23 After the introduction of natural polymers such as cellulose, 24 starch, 25 chitosan, 26 sodium alginate, 27 collagen, 28 and their derivatives, the spatial structure of the water retention agent will not change significantly, but still has a porous three-dimensional spatial network-like structure, which can physically enclose water molecules in the resin to achieve the purpose of water retention, and high hydrophilicity, good biocompatibility, low toxicity, and good biodegradability, so it has attracted a lot of attention.…”
