The aim of this study was to investigate the rheological properties and antibacterial efficacy of chitosan/ alpha-hydroxy acids (lactic acid and glycolic acid) and cellulose polymers, both in hydrogels, in order to produce ...

Copper nanoparticles were synthesized via precipitation technique using the pseudonatural cationic chitosan biopolymer as a stabilizing agent. The nanoparticles developed were successfully incorporated into the 1:1 ratio ...

Chitosan polymer as a bioactive carrier has an emerging importance due to its great versatility. Many strategies are reported for enhancing its properties. Herein, chitosan hydrogels modified by dodecenylsuccinic anhydride ...

Chitosan-DNA (CS-DNA) and Chitosan-Pectin (CS-P) hydrogels were formulated as a sustained drug delivery carrier for drug delivery. For this, hydrogels were prepared by emulsion technique: mixing aqueous phase of the CS and ...

Chitosan (CH) is a biopolymer that exhibits a number of interesting properties such as anti-inflammatory and antibacterial activity and is also a promising platform for the incorporation of photosensitizing agents. This ...

Advances in the generation of suitable thermosensitive hydrogels for the delivery of cells in neural tissue engineering demonstrate a delicate relationship between physical properties and capabilities to promote cell ...

Chitosan - β-glycerophosphate hydrogels have been widely studied for biomedical applications in recent years. In the current study a Chitosan - β-glycerophosphate hydrogel was evaluated as a platform for sodium fluoride ...

Absorbent hydrogels are classified as three-dimensional structures made up of polymers that are capable of absorbing and releasing, in a controlled manner, large amounts of water, nutrients and ionic substances, without ...

Hydrogel-forming copolymers based on chitosan grafted with different amounts of polyacrylamide were synthesized and its swelling capacity determined in distilled water, sodium chloride solutions, as well as in buffer ...
