In recent years, hydrogels have been widely used in the biomedical field as materials with excellent bionic structures and biological properties. Among them, the excellent comprehensive properties of natural polymer hydrogels represented by sodium alginate have attracted the great attention of researchers. At the same time, by physically blending sodium alginate with other materials, the problems of poor cell adhesion and mechanical properties of sodium alginate hydrogels were directly improved without chemical modification of sodium alginate. The composite blending of multiple materials can also improve the functionality of sodium alginate hydrogels, and the prepared composite hydrogel also has a larger application field. In addition, based on the adjustable viscosity of sodium alginate-based hydrogels, sodium alginate-based hydrogels can be loaded with cells to prepare biological ink, and the scaffold can be printed out by 3D printing technology for the repair of bone defects. This paper first summarizes the improvement of the properties of sodium alginate and other materials after physical blending. Then, it summarizes the application progress of sodium alginate-based hydrogel scaffolds for bone tissue repair based on 3D printing technology in recent years. Moreover, we provide relevant opinions and comments to provide a theoretical basis for follow-up research.

is an antagonistic fungus used commercially; however, the viability of these formulations is affected by biotic and abiotic factors. In this research, microcapsules of sodium alginate reinforced with nanocellulose and/or chitosan were developed to encapsulate conidia and characterized by SEM, FTIR, and TGA. The viability of the microencapsulated conidia was evaluated through different temperatures (room temperature, 5°C and 37°C), as well as their antagonistic potential against .

Conductive organohydrogel fibers based on sodium alginate (SA) exhibit remarkable flexibility and electrical conductivity, making them ideal candidates for conformal skin adhesion and real-time monitoring of human activity signals. However, traditional conductive hydrogels often suffer from issues such as uneven distribution of conductive fillers, and achieving the integration of high mechanical strength, stretchability, and transparency using environmentally friendly methods remains a significant challenge. In this study, a novel and sustainable strategy was developed to fabricate dual-network organohydrogel fibers using sodium alginate as the primary material.

Critical-sized bone defects in osteosarcoma treatment demand multifunctional scaffolds that must effectively integrate two key functions, promoting osteogenesis and delivering targeted chemoprevention. This study introduces a dual-component system featuring pH-responsive hydrogels and hydroxyapatite-based fiber-reinforced biomimetic scaffolds designed for controlled and localized curcumin delivery, while addressing its solubility and stability issues. The hydrogel system comprises a double network of polyacrylic acid, sodium alginate, carboxymethyl cellulose, and potato starch, specifically modified to encapsulate curcumin.

A one-step hydrothermal method was applied to prepare carbon dots (CDs) with superior fluorescence properties using chitosan as a carbon source. The as-prepared carbon dots were then grafted onto a sodium alginate-gelatin hydrogel film to form a fluorescent hydrogel film (FHGF), emitting at 450 nm under excitation of 350 nm light. In comparison to the CDs, the fluorescence intensity of this film was maintained over 90.
