Cover Story: Freeze-drying is a dehydration method that extends the shelf life and stability of drugs, vaccines, and biologics. Recently, its role has expanded beyond preservation to improve novel pharmaceuticals and their carriers, such as hydrogels, which are widely studied for both drug delivery and wound healing. This article highlights the multifunctional role of freeze-drying in improving the properties of sodium alginate/poly(vinyl alcohol)-based hydrogels for pharmaceutical delivery. The results show a high potential for commercialisation of the obtained hydrogels as medical dressings. View this paper
