In this review we describe recent advances of biocomposites consisting of cellulose, chitin,
and chitosan. These polysaccharides are very important because they are abundant and …

One of the most effective approaches for treatment of cartilage involves the use of porous
three-dimensional scaffolds, which are useful for improving not only cellular adhesion but …

Recently, developing antibacterial wound dressings based on biomaterials display good
biocompatibility and the potential to accelerate wound healing. For this aim, we prepared …

Chitosan (CS) derivatives have been extensively investigated to enhance the
physicochemical and biological properties of CS, such as its solubility, biocompatibility, and …

Carrageenans are sulfated galactans found in certain red seaweeds with proven biological
activities. In this work, we have prepared purified native and degraded κ-, ι-; and λ …

In the transition towards the use of renewable resources, it is advantageous to be able to
use biopolymers that are widely available with desirable functionalities. One of the most …

Peritendinous adhesion is considered a major postsurgical tendon complication in hand
surgery. This complication could be mitigated partially through early tendon mobilization …

Conjugation of strong anionic sulfonate groups to chitosan (CS) is typically used for
converting the weak cationic CS to its polyampholyte derivatives, which are of interest to …

The 2015 12th International Conference of the European Chitin Society jointly with 13th
International Conference on Chitin and Chitosan (EUCHIS/ICCC 2015) was held from …

As the most abundant renewable resource, cellulose fibers are potential candidates for use
in health-protective clothing. Herein, we demonstrate a novel strategy for preparing cellulose …
