Polysaccharide hydrogels have been widely utilized in tissue engineering. They interact with
the organismal environments, modulating the cargos release and realizing of long-term …

The capability of some polymers, such as chitosan, to form low cost gels under mild
conditions is of great application interest. Ionotropic gelation of chitosan has been used …

Essential oils are natural products with a complex composition. Terpenes are the most
common class of chemical compounds present in essential oils. Terpenes and the essential …

Herein, magnetic starch-based composite hydrogel microspheres (SCHMs) were produced
via a Diels-Alder reaction during spray drying. The adsorption behavior of SCHMs for …

Essential oils are natural products extracted from plants that present volatile and
thermolabile characteristics. Essential oils have become products of interest in many fields …

The prime objective was to enhance the solubility of acyclovir through developing a stable
and non-toxic graft structure of β-cyclodextrin-g-poly (AMPS) hydrogel microparticles …

In the present work, hybrid microgels based on chitosan and SiO 2 nanoparticles (NPs) were
synthesized. Both chitosan and the SiO 2 NPs were submitted to chemical modification …

Conventional drug delivery systems are associated with various shortcomings, including low
bioavailability and limited control over release. Biodegradable polymeric microparticles …

Blending hydrogel with an amphiphilic polymer can increase the hydrophobic drug loading
and entrapment efficiency of hydrogel-based formulations. In this study, a hydrogel …

Abstract pH-responsive core-shell structured composite hydrogel beads, composed of a
alginate (ALG) core coated with carboxymethyl cellulose (CMC) shell (ALG@ CMC), were …
