Chitosan is often characterized by its average degree of acetylation. To increase chitosan's
use in various industries, a more thorough characterization is necessary as the acetylation of …

The dissolution of polysaccharides is notoriously challenging, especially when one needs a
“true” solution. Factors influencing chitosan's solubility include composition, also known as …

Branching has been investigated in poly (acrylic acid) synthesized by conventional radical
polymerization with and without chain transfer agent (CTA) at different temperatures and …

Block copolymers enable combining properties of different polymers; double hydrophilic
block copolymers are innovative examples. Size-exclusion chromatography (SEC or GPC) …

Hypothesis The formation of polyion complexes (PICs) comprising thermoresponsive
polymers is intended to result in the formation of aggregates that undergo significant …

Chitosan, being antimicrobial and biocompatible, is attractive as a cell growth substrate. To
improve cell attachment, arginine–glycine–aspartic acid–serine (RGDS) peptides were …

Poly (acrylic acid‐co‐sodium acrylate)(PNaA) is a pH‐responsive polymer with potential in
anticancer drug delivery. The cytotoxicity and intracellular effects of 3‐arm star …

Trapped ion-mobility spectrometry combined with quadrupole time-of-flight mass
spectrometry (TIMS-QTOFMS) was evaluated as a tool for resolving linear and branched …

Free-solution capillary electrophoresis (CE) separates analytes, generally charged
compounds in solution through the application of an electric field. Compared to other …

The growing need to develop novel therapies aiming to improve or replace biological
functions for the repair of damaged or diseased tissues and organs led to the development …
