Abstract

Dynamic covalent chemistry applied to polymers has attracted significant attention over the past decade. Within this area, this review highlights the recent research on polysaccharide-based hydrogels cross-linked by boronic acid moieties, illustrating its versatility and relevance in biomaterials science to design self-healing, multiple stimuli-responsive, and adaptive biointerfaces and advanced functional devices.
