Due to the fact that some individuals are allergic to crustaceans, the presumed relationship
between allergy and the presence of chitin in crustaceans has been investigated. In vivo …

Colon specific delivery gained increasing importance for the treatment colonic diseases,
such as colorectal cancer, amebiasis, ulcerative colitis and Crohn's disease. Different …

Cellulose nanocrystals and cellulose nanofibers with I and II crystalline allomorphs
(designated as CNC I, CNC II, CNF I, and CNF II) were isolated from bleached wood fibers …

Site-specific colon drug delivery is a practical approach for the treatment of local diseases of
the colon with several advantages such as rapid onset of action and reduction of the dosage …

Cellulose nanocrystals (CNC) were isolated from cotton by alkaline pretreatment and
concentrated sulfuric acid hydrolysis. The rheological properties of the CNC aqueous …

Chitosan, the cationic polysaccharide derived from the natural polysaccharide chitin, has
been studied as a biomaterial for more than two decades. As a polycationic polymer with …

Iridescent films constructed by self-assembly of rod-like cellulose nanocrystals (CNCs) are
mechanically brittle and of poor thermal stability. Herein, we demonstrate that the toughness …

Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy, X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy, combustion gas
analysis and N2 adsorption were used to quantify the degree of desulfation of cellulose …

We suggest a rough and straightforward method to predict the dispersibility of modified
cellulose nanocrystals (CNC) in nanocomposites using Hansen solubility parameters (HSP) …

Multi‐responsive, self‐healing hydrogels were developed utilizing positively charged
polysaccharides, chitosan, and water‐soluble chitosan. This fabrication employed free …
