There is considerable interest in preparing cell‐sized giant unilamellar vesicles from natural
or nonnatural amphiphiles because a giant vesicle membrane resembles the self‐closed …

Within the last two decades, the field of nanomedicine has not developed as successfully as
has widely been hoped for. The main reason for this is the immense complexity of the …

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

This review discusses the definition of surface active agents and specifically natural
polymeric surface active agents. Chitosan by itself was found to have weak surface activity …

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

The efficient synthesis of high molar mass, first-(G1) and second-generation (G2)
dendronized polymethacrylate derivatives PG1 and PG2, respectively, and their …

Recent research in artificial cell production holds promise for the development of delivery
agents with therapeutic effects akin to real cells. To succeed in these applications, these …

In recent years, chitosan nanocapsules have shown promising results as carriers for oral
drug or peptide delivery. The success in their applicability strongly depends on the stability …

This study deals with 1, 2-dioleoyl-sn-glycero-3-phosphocholine (DOPC) vesicles decorated
with chitosan and hyaluronan, in dependence with respective membrane and polyelectrolyte …

This study addresses the effect of the degree of N-acetylation (DA~ 1.4–56%) of chitosan
(CS) of low and medium molecular weight (M w~ 9.5–13.2 and~ 122–266 kDa, respectively) …
