| Summary: | In recent years, polymeric materials have been used in a wide range of applications in a variety of fields. In particular, in the field of bioengineering, the use of natural biomaterials offers a possible new avenue for the development of products with better biocompatibility, biodegradability, and non-toxicity. This paper reviews the structural and physicochemical properties of alginate and hyaluronic acid, as well as the applications of the modified cross-linked derivatives in tissue engineering and drug delivery. This paper summarizes the application of alginate and hyaluronic acid in bone tissue engineering, wound dressings, and drug carriers. We provide some ideas on how to replace or combine alginate-based composites with hyaluronic-acid-based composites in tissue engineering and drug delivery to achieve better eco-economic value.
