Hydrogel products are a class of polymeric materials with a hydrophilic structure that allows them to retain enormous quantities of water in three-dimensional networks. The widespread use of these goods in a range of manufacturing and environmental applications is seen as critical. Natural microgels were progressively phased out in favor of synthetic biomaterials, which have a greater water absorption capacity, a longer service life, and a wider range of basic chemical resources. The literature on this topic is growing, particularly in scientific fields of study. Nevertheless, a number of papers and technical studies working with gel s from an engineering perspective were reviewed in order to get a broad overview of the technological elements of this rapidly expanding interdisciplinary area of study. The main goal of this paper is to examine the literature on hydrogel categorization on several grounds, physical and chemical properties of these products, and technological feasibility of their use. It also included the technologies used in hydrogel manufacturing, as well as process development considerations, block diagrams, and optimum preparation conditions. In addition, a newly developed category of prior decades of methods for generating was described in considerable depth.
