Abstract
Disclosed is a hybrid protein-polysaccharide superabsorbent hydrogel. The hydrogel includes two interpenetrating matrices: a first matrix which is an acylated, cross-linked protein matrix, and a second matrix which is an anionic polysaccharide matrix. The two matrices can be non-cross-linked, or the hydrogel can further include bridging moieties that covalently cross-linking the acylated, cross-linked protein matrix to the anionic polysaccharide matrix.
