Polysaccharides are the most abundant naturally available carbohydrate polymers;
composed of monosaccharide units covalently connected together. Chitosan is the most …

This review covers recent developments and progress in polymer and biopolymer blending
and material preparation by electrospinning. Electrospinning is a technique that is used to …

Chitosan hydrogels may be formed by various mechanisms. In this study, we aimed to form
hybrid polymer networks of chitosan with alginate using a crosslinker which enabled the …

Chemical modification of chitosan is one of the methods to increase the reactivity of chitosan
toward many applications. The presence of primary amino groups in chitosan permits its …

Several attempts have been made in the past to fabricate hybrid materials that display the
complementary properties of the polyester polycaprolactone (PCL) and the polysaccharide …

Chemical modification of poly (vinyl alcohol)(PVA) with different monomers is a convention
method for the development of its properties. In this study, the new multifunctional …

Chitin is the second most abundant polysaccharide after cellulose and the structural material
of crustaceans, insects, and fungi. Chitosan is a natural cationic polymer obtained from chitin …

Bioresorbable polymer stents have been proposed as promising medical implants to avoid
long-term safety concerns and other potential issues caused by traditional materials. As an …

This study reports properties of a class of biodegradable polyesters based on citric acid and
glycerin, both of which are safe ingredients in food, and their usefulness for drug control …

Clays are widely used in controlled drug delivery systems due to their strong adsorption
properties and natural origin. In this study, a drug carrier was prepared using chitosan, a …
