Abstract
Alginate-based hydrogels are plant-derived biopolymers that received extensive research and industrial attention for water treatment, food, electronics, and biomedical sectors. In particular, alginate-based hydrogels exhibit biocompatibility, bioactivity, biodegradability, biorestorability, and hydrophilicity. Hence, they are favorable for many human health applications, such as, tissue engineering, tissue healing, soft biomedical implants, drug delivery, etc., Recently, bioprinting was used for alginate-based biomaterials to enable the precise fabrication of constructs with customized shapes and enhanced functionality. This chapter reviews the recent developments in 3D-printed alginate-based hydrogels, focusing on rheological characteristics, mechanical properties, and biological performance and highlighting their prominent role in addressing healthcare challenges.Citation
