Abstract

Hydrogels have known significant development in several areas, as efficient drug delivery systems. The present study mainly focused on their recent research classification, preparation and alternatives as cross linking agents, considering challenges, particularly the synthesis of a hydrogel based on chitosan with effectively no toxicity. The relationship between the hydrogel structure and the drug release mechanism were also considered.
