In the last few years, chitosan-based coatings have been proposed as antibacterial surfaces
for biomedical devices in order to prevent nosocomial infections. In that sense, this work …

Nanoarchitectured films are known for tailoring surface properties, while antimicrobial
surfaces can reduce pathogen propagation in public spaces and on protective equipment …

Chitosan-based thin films were assembled using the layer-by-layer technique, and the axial
composition was accessed using X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy with depth profiling …

The layer-by-layer film deposition is a suitable strategy for the design and functionalization
of drug carriers with superior performance, which still lacks information describing the …

In recent years, a common strategy, to obtain more uniform and controlled synthesis of
polyelectrolytes multilayers (PEMs), relies on a previous polyethylenimine (PEI) coating of …

Surfaces are responsible for important interactions of biomaterials since they create the
interface with the biological environment and affect the response that the body will have to …

This paper explores the influence of pH and ionic strength of polyelectrolyte solutions as a
simple and chemically amenable strategy for tuning the structure and drug delivery …

The presence of non-poplar extracts, cutin, and wax layer in the wheat straw outer surface
(WOS) greatly limit its application in bio-composite preparation. In this study, a dielectric …

Since chitosan presents the ability to interact with a wide range of molecules, it has been
one of the most popular natural polymers for the construction of layer-by-layer thin films. In …

The work explores the synthesis and the properties of a novel composite membrane system
based on modified polystyrene (PS) grafted onto a polyvinyl chloride (PVC) membrane. PVC …
