In this work, the effect of chitosan blending on the thermal properties, nanoscopic structure and swelling behavior of ureasil–polyethylene oxide (U-PEO) hybrid materials was examined. Materials were prepared by the sol–gel ...

Cross-linked pectin/high amylose mixtures were evaluated as a new excipient for matrix tablets formulations, since the mixing of polymers and cross-linking reaction represent rational tools to reach materials with modulated ...

The use of nanoparticles appears to be a feasible option for improving the quality of a range of wood-based products. Studies show that they can improve both the physical and mechanical properties of wood and wood-based ...
