Chitosan is a prominent biopolymer in research for of its physicochemical properties and
uses. Each year, the number of publications based on chitosan and its derivatives increases …

A subtype of soft solid-like substances are emulsion gels (emulgels; EGs). These composite
material's structures either consist of a network of aggregated emulsion droplets or a …

Wound care remains a challenge in healthcare. This work aimed to develop a new polyvinyl
alcohol (PVA)/chitosan (Ch) based wound dressing able to ensure protection, hydration and …

The current study focused on the application of an agricultural byproduct, zein, to the
formation of a novel type of emulsion gels. Zein based oil-in-glycerol emulsion gels (O/G …

This study aimed to evaluate the effect of the synthesis parameters and the incorporation of
natural polyphenolic extract within hydrogel networks on the mechanical and morphological …

In this work, poly (vinyl alcohol) chitosan (PVA/CS) nanofibers were produced by solution
blow spinning (SBS). The influence of chitosan addition on solution viscosity as well as on …

Cerium oxide nanoparticles (CeONPs), as part of tissue regeneration matrices, can protect
cells from reactive oxygen species and oxidative stress. In addition, they can influence the …

Polylactic acid/chitosan (PLA/CS) and poly (vinyl alcohol)/chitosan (PVA/CS) are considered
potential blends for use in tissue engineering, since when obtained in the form of 3D fibers …

Highly humid air is harmful to human health. The solution dehumidification can easily cause
salt solution droplets release into the air while membrane dehumidification requires a …

The linear and nonlinear rheological properties of konjac glucomannan solutions as affected
by its concentration and the addition of sodium chloride were investigated by both small and …
