Thermo-sensitive chitosan-cellulose derivative hydrogels: swelling behaviour and morphologic studies
(Springer, 2014-12-01)
Hydrogels are three-dimensional, hydrophilic, polymer networks that are able to imbibe large amounts of water or biological fluids, while maintaining their dimensional stability. The polymer binding might be achieved by ...
On the effects of hydroxyl substitution degree and molecular weight on mechanical and water barrier properties of hydroxypropyl methylcellulose films
(Elsevier B.V., 2018-04-01)
In line with the increasing demand for sustainable packaging materials, this contribution aimed to investigate the film-forming properties of hydroxypropyl methylcellulose (HPMC) to correlate its chemical structure with ...
Development of cellulose-based bactericidal nanocomposites containing silver nanoparticles and their use as active food packaging
(ELSEVIER SCI LTDOXFORD, 2012)
The use of nanomaterials, including metallic as active fillers in polymeric nanocomposites for food packaging has been extensively investigated. Silver nanoparticles (AgNPs), in particular, have been exploited for technological ...
Upcycling Microbial Cellulose Scraps into Nanowhiskers with Engineered Performance as Fillers in All-Cellulose Composites
(2020-10-14)
Cellulose is everywhere and renovates in nature continuously and rapidly, while petroleum does not. Unlike the latter, cellulose biodegrades and may represent a carbon sink. Inspired by the multiscale architecture of ...
Gelatin and non gelatin soft gel capsules: A review
(2021-06-26)
Soft gelatin capsules are solid, single-dose dosage forms consisting of a shell, usually made from gelatin, that generally contain liquids. Gelatin is the most widely used film-forming agent, and it is extracted from ...
