Cover Story: Natural polymer-based nanocomposite hydrogels are emerging as a potential system for drug delivery and other biomedical applications. The present biopolymeric system composed of natural polymers such as chitosan, guar gum, linseed-oil-based polyol and Cloisite 30B as a nanofiller comes with unique features, such as being pH responsive and having biodegradability and high stability in physiological solutions.
