During recent decades, biopolymers have frequently been used as raw materials for the design of drug delivery formulations owing to their unique properties, such as non-toxicity, biocompatibility, biodegradability, and environmental sensitivity. Over the last few years, in particularly the use of alginate and chitosan as biopolymers have increased exponentially for controlled drug delivery. However, weak mechanical properties and burst release of the drugs are observed when neat biopolymers hydrogels are used. All factors affecting the burst release of the drugs and mechanical properties have...
