Biodegradable macroporous hydroxyethylcellulose (HEC) cryogels of good quality and high
gel fraction yield (95%) were synthesized via a facile method. The latter involved a relatively …

Original pH sensitive cryogels, based on two biodegradable natural polymers chitosan (CS)
and 2-hydroxyethylcellulose (HEC), were obtained via cryogenic treatment of semi-dilute …

Carboxymethylcellulose (CMC) was functionalized using methacrylic anhydride (MA) to
produce photo-crosslinkable methacrylated carboxymethylcellulose (mCMC). Optimization …

Novel physically cross-linked cryogels containing polyvinyl alcohol (PVA) and various

The availability, biocompatibility, non-toxicity, and ease of chemical modification make
cellulose a promising natural polymer for the production of biomedical materials …

The mechanical and thermal properties of cryogels depend on their microstructure. In this
study, the microstructure of hydroxypropyl methylcellulose (HPMC) cryogels was modified by …

Cryogels of cellulose ether, hydroxyethylcellulose (HEC), were obtained via UV-irradiation
of moderately frozen aqueous solutions in the presence of water soluble photoinitiator,(4 …

Macroporous hydrogels based on hyaluronan (HA), a natural polysaccharide occurring in
extracellular matrix, have attracted interest over many years owing to their numerous …

An effective and facile method for the synthesis of chemically crosslinked supermacroporous
polymer cryogels based on UV irradiation is reviewed. The influence of key factors like the …

Biodegradable macroporous hydrogels were prepared using a biodegradable crosslinker
based on chitosan derivatives. The chitosan crosslinker was synthesized through the …
