A polyelectrolyte complex (PEC) matrix formed between chitosan and pectin was developed
to entrap a bioactive compound (anthocyanin), obtaining an useful pH indicator device …

One of the most important aspects of chitosan'derivatization depends on the crosslinking of
their polymeric chains. This chemical strategy may confer new properties to those …

A viscometric study was carried out at 25° C to assess the physical–chemical behavior in
solution and the mean viscometric molar mass (M¯ v) of chitosan solutions with different …

The biopolymers chitin (CTN) and chitosan (CTS) were functionalized with APTES (3–
aminopropyltriethoxysilane) in order to enhance its adsorption potential for sunset yellow …

Mucoadhesive membranes were proposed in this study as drug delivery system for
betamethasone-17-valerate (BMV) in the treatment of recurrent aphthous stomatitis (RAS) …

We report the preparation of a new hybrid magnetic nanocomposite (HMNC) based on
maghemite (γ-Fe 2 O 3), chitosan (Chi), and polypyrrole (PPY), and its use in water …

The present study aimed to evaluate the antimicrobial activity and cytotoxicity of colloidal
chitosan–silver nanoparticle–fluoride nanocomposites (CChAgNpFNc), with different silver …

In this study, chitin and chitosan were extracted from Litopenaeus vannamei waste using
chemical and microwave methods. Shrimp waste was cleaned, dried and ground sieved to …

Non-renewable biomass, such as coal, oil and natural gas are not only energy sources but
also important starting materials for the production of a variety of chemicals ranging from …
