Abstract
Chemically modified biopolymers are emerging as critical materials in biomedical applications, particularly in the development of hydrogels. This study reviews innovative approaches to synthesizing and characterizing chemically modified biopolymers and explores their applications in drug delivery, tissue engineering, and regenerative medicine. The advancements in biopolymer modifications such as cross-linking, functionalization, and blending with synthetic polymers enhance the physical, chemical, and biological properties of hydrogels. Through in vitro and in vivo evaluations, we highlight the potential of these modified hydrogels to improve therapeutic efficacy and biocompatibility. The findings suggest that chemically modified biopolymers represent a promising frontier in biomedical hydrogel development, paving the way for new treatments and technologies.
