Carboxyl-modified poly(vinyl alcohol)-crosslinked chitosan hydrogel films for potential wound dressing

Hypromellose succinate-crosslinked chitosan hydrogel films for potential wound dressing

“…However, in wet state, pure chitosan films have a poor mechanical property due to their brittleness, which limits its use as wound dressings. Hence, to improve its strength and elasticity, blend or crosslink of chitosan with natural or synthetic polymers such as cellulose derivatives, poly(vinyl alcohol), starch, and gelatin, have been investigated [19][20][21][22][23].…”

Self-assembled nanoparticles based on chondroitin sulfate-deoxycholic acid conjugates for docetaxel delivery: Effect of degree of substitution of deoxycholic acid

“…The hemolysis of the nanoparticles was evaluated using 2 % erythrocytes suspension extracted from fresh rabbit blood [32]. CSAD nanoparticles with different concentrations were added to a series of tubes containing 2.5 mL erythrocytes suspension, and the total volume was kept at 5 mL.…”

Influence of Poly (Ethylene Glycol) on the Characteristics of γ Radiation-Crosslinked Poly (Vinyl Pyrrolidone)-Low Molecular Weight Chitosan Network Hydrogels

“…Hydrogels imbibe large amount of water as well as biological fluids up to hundreds even thousands times higher than its weight (Zhang et al 2015a). The water absorption ability of hydrogels is dependent on the presence of functional groups in the hydrogels, the state of water (pH and ionic content), density of the crosslinkednetwork and the hydrophilic/hydrophobic polymer content (El-sherbiny & Smyth 2012;Nguyen & Liu 2013;Riva et al 2011;Zhang et al 2015b;Zhao et al 2006).…”
