In the last decade, injectable hydrogels have attracted a lot of attention due to their excellent functional properties in the field of drug delivery for precise, non-invasive and focused tissue locations. Therefore, designing drug delivery systems (DDS) responsive to hydrogel stimuli to release a drug to an external stimulus with various advantages, can be very challenging. Due to their biocompatibility, mucosal adhesion, and hemostatic activity, chitosan (Chitosan)-based hydrogels offer a lot of potential for tissue engineering and drug delivery. It can be difficult to manage the structure of these stimuli-responsive CS hydrogels or they may require additional crosslinking agents, such as hydrogels with dual pH and thermo-responsiveness. Therefore, it is crucial to create these hydrogels for medicinal applications.
在过去十年中，可注射水凝胶因其在药物递送领域的优异功能特性，能够实现精确、无创且靶向特定组织部位，而备受关注。因此，设计对水凝胶刺激有响应的药物递送系统（DDS），使其能对外界刺激释放药物并具备多种优势，极具挑战性。基于壳聚糖（Chitosan）的水凝胶因其生物相容性、黏膜黏附性和止血活性，在组织工程和药物递送方面具有很大潜力。这些刺激响应性壳聚糖水凝胶的结构可能难以控制，或者可能需要额外的交联剂，比如具有双重pH和热响应性的水凝胶。因此，制备这些用于医学应用的水凝胶至关重要。
