This paper reports the rheological behavior of chitosan solutions that have been cross-
linked with different amounts of genipin, at body temperature and physiological pH. The …

Chitosan macro-and micro/nano-gels have gained increasing attention in recent years,
especially in the biomedical field, given the well-documented low toxicity, degradability, and …

Chitosan is a complex linear amino co-polymer which, depending on a great variety of
parameters, exhibits a more or less amphiphilic structure. This makes this polysaccharide …

The gelation kinetics of an in situ gelable hydrogel formulated from oxidized dextran (Odex)
and N-carboxyethyl chitosan (CEC) was investigated rheologically. Both Schiff base …

Soft tissues are commonly fiber-reinforced hydrogel composite structures, distinguishable
from hard tissues by their low mineral and high water content. In this work, we proposed the …
