In this review we describe recent advances of biocomposites consisting of cellulose, chitin,
and chitosan. These polysaccharides are very important because they are abundant and …

Worldwide, millions of tons of crustaceans are produced every year and consumed as
protein-rich seafood. However, the shells of the crustaceans and other non-edible parts …

Injectable hydrogels that polymerize directly in vivo hold significant promises in clinical
settings to support the repair of damaged or failing tissues. Existing systems that allow …

Despite considerable recent interest in micro-and nanofibrillated cellulose as constituents of
lightweight structures and scaffolds for applications that range from thermal insulation to …

Biopolymer-based hydrogel beads possessing intrinsic low-toxicity, biocompatibility and
biodegradability have gained widespread utility in several applications. Among the …

Cellulose and chitosan solutions were prepared in 60% LiBr and mixed with a different
weight ratio. The washing and drying of the prepared cellulose–chitosan composite films …

Polyurea-crosslinked calcium alginate (X-Ca-alginate) and chitosan (X-chitosan) aerogel
beads have been prepared via reaction of an aliphatic triisocyanate (Desmodur N3300) with …

The path to greater sustainability and the development of polymeric drug delivery systems
requires innovative approaches. The adaptation and use of biobased materials for …

In the search for more environmentally friendly adsorbent materials, the use of
polysaccharides results attractive. Especially, as they can be used as coatings to add …

This research proposed two pretreatments of viscose fabrics: oxidation with 2, 2, 6, 6-
tetramethylpiperidine-1-oxy radical (TEMPO) and coating with TEMPO-oxidized cellulose …
