Alginates are naturally occurring polymers revealing low toxicity, good biocompatibility and
biodegradability, excellent gelling and thickening properties, as well as low production cost …

A detailed study of the production of polysaccharide aerogel (bio-aerogel) particles from lab
to pilot scale is surveyed in this article. An introduction to various droplets techniques …

Three-dimensional (3D) bioprinting is an appealing approach for building tissues; however,
bioprinting of mini-tissue blocks (ie, spheroids) with precise control on their positioning in 3D …

Hydrogels have a tridimensional structure. They have the ability to absorb a significant
amount of water or other natural or simulated fluids that cause their swelling albeit without …

The aim of the present work is fabrication of dual cross linked sodium alginate
(SA)/montmorillonite (MMT) microbeads as a potential drug vehicle for extended release of …

Microencapsulation involves coating or entrapping of a core material with a polymeric
material to generate microspheres in the size range of 1–1000μm. This versatile technology …

Polysaccharide-based aerogels in the form of microspheres were investigated as carriers of
poorly water soluble drugs for oral administration. These bio-based carriers may combine …

Alginate is a biopolymer that has exceptional gelling properties, which allow easy gel
formation under safe and mild conditions. Consequently, it is often used to encapsulate a …

Alginate hydrogel beads are widely used as an encapsulation medium for biomedical,
bioprocessing, and pharmaceutical applications. The size and shape of the beads are often …

Written at a level comprehensible to non-experts, this handbook covers the current state of
encapsulation and controlled released technologies, presenting the fundamental processes …
