Taking inspiration from many chitin–inorganic composites in nature, a number of recent
articles throw light on the manufacture of such composites based on calcium carbonate …

Various metal–chitosan nanocomposites were synthesized, including silver (Ag), gold (Au),
platinum (Pt), and palladium (Pd) in aqueous solutions. Metal nanoparticles were formed by …

Silver nanoparticles were prepared by chemical reduction method using chitosan as
stabilizer and ascorbic acid as reducing agent in this work. The silver/chitosan …

Conventional materials technology has yielded clear improvements in regenerative
medicine. Ideally, however, a replacement material should mimic the living tissue …

For the first time, conductive starch/poly (ionic liquid) hydrogels from a polymerizable deep
eutectic solvent (DES) by frontal polymerization (FP) were reported. The solubility and …

New organic–inorganic hybrids were prepared by a sol–gel method from the biopolymer
chitosan and a silane coupling agent, 3-isocyanatopropyltriethoxysilane (ICPTES), in which …

Biodegradable polymer electrolyte comprising the blend of chitosan (CS) and poly (ethylene
glycol)(PEG) plasticized with ethylene carbonate and propylene carbonate, as host polymer …

This study utilized beeswax and k-carrageenan as gelling agents to prepare oleogels and
hydrogels, respectively. The amalgamation of the two gels in frozen water led to the …

Gold nanoparticles were prepared in the presence of chitosan via reduction of HAuCl4 with
sodium borohydride. The gold–chitosan nanocomposite was formed by adsorbing chitosan …

Glycerin (Gly), a common by‐product in petrochemical industry, is used as hydrogen bond
donor. Green organic choline chloride (ChCl) as hydrogen bond acceptor. Natural deep …
