Complex materials are composed of basic units which invariably interact with anharmonic
potentials. It is well known that the dynamics of systems with anharmonic interaction are …

Numerous investigations on protein–polysaccharide systems have recently been
undertaken and are leading to a better understanding of the key parameters implied in …

This article details recent research conducted on the complexation between milk proteins
and polysaccharides and the properties of the complexes, and the application of such …

Chitosan-pectin hydrogels were prepared, and their rheological properties were assessed in
order to select the best system to develop scaffolds by 3D printing. Hydrogels showed a …

We review the work done on complexes between biopolyelectrolytes such as ionically
modified cellulose or chitosan and oppositely charged surfactants. Around equimolarity of …

Polysaccharides and their derivatives are commonly used in pharmaceutical and
agricultural formulations as rheology modifiers. Their performance is related to their …

Polyelectrolyte complexes (PECs) are three-dimensional macromolecular structures formed
by association of oppositely charged polyelectrolytes in solution. Polyelectrolyte multilayers …

Coacervation in mixtures of polyelectrolytes and surfactants with opposite charge is common
in nature and is also technologically important to consumer health care products. To …

Nanoparticles were obtained by electrostatic complexation between chitosan and gellan
gum at different polysaccharide ratios. The effect of the chitosan: gellan ratio on the particle …

Glass-forming substances are made of units having nontrivial mutual interactions. Therefore,
structural relaxation of glass-formers is a many-body relaxation problem, which unfortunately …
