What the study found Plant-derived polyphenols can reprogram kappa-carrageenan (κ-CRG, a seaweed-derived polysaccharide used to form hydrogels) in a structure-dependent way. The authors report that this changes gel mechanics, thermal behavior, adhesion, and how the gels break down in water-based fluids. Why the authors say this matters The authors conclude that this provides a fully…
