Pullulan, an α-glucan polysaccharide, is colorless, odorless, non-toxic, non-carcinogenic,
highly biocompatible, edible and biodegradable in nature. The long chains of …

Pullulan is an imperative natural polymer produced commercially by yeast like fungus
Aureobasidium pullulans. It is non-toxic, non-immunogenic, non-carcinogenic and non …

Therapeutic polysaccharide-based coatings have recently emerged as versatile strategies to
transform a conventional medical implant into a drug delivery system. However, the …

Most fossil fuel-derived polymers used for food packaging are non-biodegradable and
induce pollution by microplastic, calling for safer material. Here we review microbial …

The development of new biological devices in response to market demands requires
continuous efforts for the improvement of products' functionalization based upon expansion …

The matrix-assisted pulsed laser evaporation (MAPLE) technique offers an efficient
mechanism to transfer soft materials from the condensed to the vapor phase, preserving the …

Shortly after the demonstration of the first laser, the most intensely studied theoretical topics
dealt with laser-matter interactions. Many experiments were undertaken to clarify the major …

Laser light irradiation of organic or polymeric materials leads to a wide range of controlled
physical and chemical modifications in the micro-and nanoscales. Laser pulses, with …

A pH‐sensitive pullulan–doxorubicin conjugate is evaluated in vivo by comparison with
doxorubicin with respect to hemolytic activity, biodistribution, biosafety, cardiotoxicity and …

We report the successful deposition of polycaprolactone polymer by MAPLE using a KrF*
excimer laser (λ= 248nm, τ= 7ns). According to FTIR spectra the deposited films have similar …
