A biogenic carrier for 5-fluorouracil (5-FU) loading and subsequent tableting as a new drug
formulation for slow release has been proposed using the biomineral from blue crab …

A novel nanoporous adsorbent was obtained through the thermal treatment and chemical
wash of the wasted crab shells (BC1) and characterized by various techniques. The …

Electrospun nanofibrous mats, consisting of chitosan (CS) and polyvinylpyrrolidone (PVP),
were constructed with the addition of graphene oxide (GO) for enhancement of delivery of …

Due to their chemical composition, richness in calcium carbonate, chitin, proteins, and
pigments, and nanoporous structure, crustacean shell waste shows great potential for a …

The primary objectives of the present work are to synthesize chitosan nanoparticles (CS-
