Preparation and characterization of chitosan–polylactide composites blended with Cloisite 30B for control release of the anticancer drug paclitaxel

Synthesis of chitosan-g-poly(acrylamide)/ZnS nanocomposite for controlled drug delivery and antimicrobial activity

“…The peaks at 1422 cm −1 and 1384 cm −1 in Fig. 1(a) indicated the N-H stretching of the amide and ether bond [52]. The reduced intensity of peak indicated the presence of polyacrylamide chains with chitosan.…”

Preparation, Properties and Applications of Chitosan-Based Biocomposites/Blend Materials: A Review

“…PLA has excellent mechanical characteristics; it is used in the fixation of fractured bones in orthopedic and oral surgeries in the form of plates, pins, screws and wires [283,284]. Also, it can be used as porous three-dimensional scaffolds for bone regeneration [285,286]. Generally Cs/PLA blends were prepared either by electro-spinning [287], spray drying [288], film casting [289] or fluid forming [290].…”

Novel pH sensitive composite hydrogel based on functionalized chitosan/clay for the controlled release of a calcium channel blocker

“…[6] Polymer-clay composites are extending their applicability to the design of new drug release dosage forms with highly specific technological and biopharmaceutical properties, such as swelling, film formation, bioadheshion and cellular uptake. [7] Clay minerals can be considered as nanocontainers, which are capable of carrying bioactive molecules to the proper site of action at a correct release rate. [8] Montmorillonite (MMT) clay is one of the members of the smectite group, composed of silica tetrahedral sheets layered between alumina octahedral sheets.…”
