Abstract

Superabsorbent hydrogels,as one kind of functional materials with 3D network formed by the crosslinking of hydrophilic polymers,have been widely used in various fields,such as degradable food packaging,food preservation,agriculture,and pharmaceutical manufacture.Particularly,those superabsorbent hydrogels derived from natural polysaccharides not only show high adsorption capacity and fast swelling rate,but also display good biocompatibility and degradability.In this review,the latest research progress of natural polysaccharide-based superabsorbent hydrogels originated from the cellulose,starch,chitosan,carrageenan and sodium alginate was summarized.Meanwhile,the swelling mechanisms were clarified.Finally,the future developments and challenges were discussed.This review can provide the theoretical basis and scientific values for the conception of polysaccharide-based superabsorbent hydrogel materials with high-performance.
