Abstract
The abilities of intelligent polymer hydrogels to change their structure and volume phase in
response to external stimuli have provided new possibilities for various advanced technologies and
great research and application potentials in the medical field. The natural polymer-based hydrogels
have the advantages of environment-friendliness, rich sources and good biocompatibility. Based on
their responsiveness to external stimuli, the natural polymer-based hydrogels can be classified into the
temperature-responsive hydrogel, pH-responsive hydrogel, light-responsive hydrogel, electricresponsive
hydrogel, redox-responsive hydrogel, enzyme-responsive hydrogel, magnetic-responsive
hydrogel, multi-responsive hydrogel, etc. In this review, we have compiled some recent studies on
natural polymer-based stimuli-responsive hydrogels, especially the hydrogels prepared from polysaccharides.
The preparation methods, properties and applications of these hydrogels in the medical field
are highlighted.
