Injectable hybrid laponite/alginate hydrogels for sustained release of methylene blue

The incorporation of biocompatible Laponite (LP) into alginate hydrogels greatly increases the drug encapsulation efficiency of methylene blue (MB). By raising the LP content from 0 to 0.5 wt.%, the half-release time (t1/2) of MB in oven-dried gels increases from ~2 h to ~10 h, while t1/2 in vacuum-...
