Abstract
''), highlighting its pivotal role in dynamic network crosslinking. The electrostatic interaction between CTAB and LGS provides a foundation for the formation of the LGS/CTAB/SA hydrogel. This study further elucidates the sustained release and antibacterial properties of SA as a drug molecule and assesses the antibacterial capabilities of various hydrogel formulations, thereby providing a robust theoretical and experimental foundation for the development of novel multifunctional supramolecular hydrogels.
