“…Given the dynamic development and implementation of nanomaterials, CA has been successfully employed as a precursor for matrices, nanoparticles and nanofibers. In the year 2012 alone, CA was used to prepare membranes for nanofiltration [31][32][33][34][35][36][37][38][39][40][41][42], organoclay nanocomposites [43][44][45], antimicrobial wound dressing [46], bone regeneration material [47], biosensors [48], bioreactors [49], polymer electrolyte [50,51], energetic materials (composite explosives and propellants) [52], insulating [53] and fireproofing materials [54], and novel drug delivery systems [49,55].…”
