Modification of collagen and chitosan mixtures by the addition of tannic acid

3D composites based on the blends of chitosan and collagen with the addition of hyaluronic acid

“…Collagen (Coll) was isolated from rats tail tendons [26,27]. Chitosan (CTS) and hyaluronic acid (HA) were purchased from the Sigma Aldrich company (Poland).…”

“…Chitosan (CTS) and hyaluronic acid (HA) were purchased from the Sigma Aldrich company (Poland). Collagen and chitosan (M v = 5.4 × 10 5 g/mol; DD = 77%) solutions were prepared in 0.1 M acetic acid, both in 1% wt concentration [26]. Chitosan and collagen mixtures were prepared by mixing two solutions in the weight ratio 50/50.…”

“…Research on collagen and chitosan composites has been done so far with interesting results already having been found [26,27]. The mixture of collagen and hyaluronic acid with the addition of chitosan was obtained as a film [28].…”

Characterization of chitosan composites with synthetic polymers and inorganic additives

“…A simple approach involves blending with additional inorganic and/or organic compounds, such as synthetic polymers, montmorillonite, hydroxylapatite, titanium http://dx.doi.org/10.1016/j.ijbiomac.2015.08.003 0141-8130/© 2015 Elsevier B.V.

Preparation and characterization of collagen/chitosan/hyaluronic acid thin films for application in hair care cosmetics

“…Blending two or more polymers together may improve the properties of the material in comparison with one component [1]. In fact, biomaterials based on the blends of two polymers and/or biopolymers are already used in the medical field [1][2][3][4]. The aim of this work was to create biopolymer films based on the blends of collagen, chitosan and hyaluronic acid.…”
