Polysaccharides are widely employed to fabricate hydrogels owing to their intrinsic
properties including biocompatibility, biodegradability, sustainability, and easy modification …

Herein, we present novel porous polyelectrolyte complexes (PECs) physically stabilized by
electrostatic interaction between chitosan (CS) and oxidized starch of two sources, ie potato …

Chitosan (CS)-based drug delivery systems (DDSs) are often stabilized by chemical cross-
linking. A much more friendly approach to deliver drugs in a controlled manner is …

Biomass-derived materials with multiple features are seldom reported so far. Herein, new
chitosan (CS) sponges with complementary functions for point-of-use healthcare …

Cryogels, composed of synthetic and natural materials, have emerged as versatile
biomaterials with applications in tissue engineering, controlled drug delivery, regenerative …

An increase in resistance to key antibiotics has made the need for novel treatments for the
gastric colonization of Helicobacter pylori (H. pylori) a matter of the utmost urgency. Recent …

The paper presents the viscoelastic properties of new hybrid hydrogels containing poly
(vinyl alcohol)(PVA), hydroxypropylcellulose (HPC), bovine serum albumin (BSA) and …

Hydrogels are important three-dimensional network polymers for various technologies
ranging from tissue engineering to bio-sensing due to their high water absorption …

A series of thermoresponsive semi-interpenetrating polymer network (semi-IPN) based on
linear polyacrylamide (PAAm), N-isopropylacrylamide (NIPA) and methacrylic acid (MA) …

In this work, five different dextran-based cryogels for controlled drug release are
investigated. Vitamin B12 was used as a model drug for in vitro release tests. Two different …
