Routes of drug administration and the corresponding physicochemical characteristics of a
given route play significant roles in therapeutic efficacy and short term/long term biological …

The sustained release of pharmaceutical substances remains the most convenient way of
drug delivery. Hence, a great variety of reports can be traced in the open literature …

Chitosan (CS) is a hemi-synthetic cationic linear polysaccharide produced by the
deacetylation of chitin. CS is non-toxic, highly biocompatible, and biodegradable, and it has …

An efficient composite was constructed based on aminated chitosan (NH2Cs), attapulgite
(ATP) clay and magnetic Fe3O4 for adsorptive removal of Cr (VI) ions. The as-fabricated …

Various properties of chitosan can be customized by thiolation for very specific needs in a
wide range of application areas. Since the discovery of thiolated chitosans, many studies …

A series of nanohybrids using ZIF-8 in the presence of chitosan (CS) at various compositions
(0.5–15 wt%) were synthesized. Thorough characterization exhibited that the morphology of …

Scientific research has focused its attention on finding an alternative route to systemic oral
and parenteral administration, to overcome their usual drawbacks, such as hepatic first-pass …

Bacterial infection in skin and soft tissue has emerged as a critical concern. Overreliance on
antibiotic therapy has led to numerous challenges, including the emergence of multidrug …

In this study, a novel immobilization support for laccase was developed to enhance enzyme
stability, efficiency and reusability. Firstly, Fe 3 O 4 magnetic particles were synthesized and …

The use of polymeric materials from renewable resources has a long history, with naturally
occurring polymers being among the first materials used by men. In the 19th century, natural …
