This review describes the most common methods for recovery of chitin from marine
organisms. In depth, both enzymatic and chemical treatments for the step of deproteinization …

This review covers the preparation, characterization, properties, and applications of
methylcelluloses (MC). In particular, the influence of different chemical modifications of …

This review summarizes the current understanding of adsorption of polyelectrolytes to
oppositely charged solid substrates, the resulting interaction forces between such …

Membranes can be fabricated either from lipid or polymer molecules, leading to the
formation of liposomes or polymersomes. In all types of liposomal membranes, the issue of …

Lipid nanoemulsions (NEs), owing to their controllable size (20 to 500 nm), stability and
biocompatibility, are now frequently used in various fields, such as food, cosmetics …

We review the work done on complexes between biopolyelectrolytes such as ionically
modified cellulose or chitosan and oppositely charged surfactants. Around equimolarity of …

In this review, different aspects characterizing chitosan–surfactant mixtures are summarized
and compared. Chitosan is a bioderived cationic polysaccharide that finds wide-ranged …

Taking a photo typically requires the object of interest to stand still. In science, imaging is
potentiated by optical and electron microscopy. However, living and soft matter are not still …

We thermodynamically characterize the interaction of chitosan with small liposomes and the
binding and organization of the polysaccharide on the membrane of the vesicles. By means …

Pesticide misuse has well-documented detrimental effects on ecosystems, with Nile tilapia
(Oreochromis niloticus) being particularly vulnerable. The current study focuses on the …
