METHOD FOR FORMING A COMPOSITE, COMPOSITE, METHODS TO PROMOTE CELL PROLIFERATION IN THE COMIPÓSITO, TO INHIBIT CELL PROLIFERATION AND TO RECOVER CELLS FROM THE COMIPÓSITO, USE OF A COMIPOSITO, AND, METHODS FOR FIXING A COMPOSITE , TO INDUCE IN SITU GELEIFICATION INSIDE THE PORES OF AN ALGINATE FOAM, TO PREVENT FABRIC ADHESION TO ADJACENT TISSUE AND TO FORM A DRY ABSORBENT FOAM The invention relates to composites comprising a polysaccharide gelled inside a foam pore, preparation methods and uses thereof, for example in biomedical applications such as cell culture media and implants, controlled release distribution systems, food applications, industrial applications, and personal care applications such as cosmetics and oral hygiene. The composites of the present invention are simple to formulate using a few steps and are usable to trap heat sensitive components, such as cells, drugs, flavors or fragrances within the polysaccharide gel. In addition, the invention provides a composite capable of gently immobilizing fragile components, such as living cells, without exposing these components to shear forces.
