Chitin, the second most important natural polymer in the world, and its N-deacetylated
derivative chitosan, have been identified as versatile biopolymers for a broad range of …

This article critically reviews the recent developments in the structural modifications of
chitosan and its nano-structured variants produced via different techniques and their …

Systematic administration of painkillers and anti-inflammatory drugs is routinely employed to
minimize pain and bodily disorders. Controlled drug delivery has the potential to improve the …

Chitosan is prepared from chitin, the second most abundant natural polymer in the world. It
is primarily composed of glucosamine and N-acetyl glucosamine residues with a 1, 4-β …

The antibiotic gentamicin was loaded into a novel bionanocomposite of chitosan-zinc oxide
(ZnO) nanoparticles, poly (ethylene glycol)(PEG) cross-linked with sodium tri polyphosphate …

Sponges are a valuable source of natural compounds and biomaterials for many
biotechnological applications. Marine sponges belonging to the order Verongiida are known …

In this study, we proposed the use of the biopolymers silk fibroin, chitosan and alginate,
which are recognized for their biocompatibility and biodegradability, for the preparation of …

In the present study polymer blends based on chitosan (CS) and its derivatives with trans-
aconitic (t-Acon) acid and another with trimellitic (TRM) anhydride, were prepared for topical …

With increasing scientific research, knowledge, and socioeconomic awareness, research,
and industrial communities are now much more interested in biopolymers‐based composite …

The goal of this research is to develop an intelligent carrier that can control the release of
medications in response to particular triggers. A novel carrier was created by combining …
