Journal ArticleDOI
Influence of the degree of acetylation on some biological properties of chitosan films.
TL;DR: DA plays a key role in cell adhesion and proliferation, but does not change the cytocompatibility of chitosan, and the role played by the surface morphology of the material, a second major parameter which influences the mechanism of adhesion.
Journal ArticleDOI
Relation between the degree of acetylation and the electrostatic properties of chitin and chitosan.
TL;DR: In this article, a series of chitosan/chitin samples with DA's varying between 5.2 and 89% were prepared from the reacetylation under soft conditions of a unique chitosa sample allowing the preservation of the chain distribution.
Journal ArticleDOI
Multi-membrane hydrogels.
TL;DR: This work uses a multi-step interrupted gelation process in controlled physico-chemical conditions to generate complex hydrogels with multi-membrane ‘onion-like’ architectures, which greatly simplifies the processing of gels with complex shapes and aMulti- Membrane organization.
Journal ArticleDOI
Optimization of chitin extraction from shrimp shells.
TL;DR: The aim of this paper is to define optimal conditions for the extraction of chitin from shrimp shells with kinetics of both demineralization and deproteinization with, in the latter case, the role of temperature studied.
Journal ArticleDOI

TL;DR: The results suggest that different mechanisms are involved in the elicitation of POD activities by GlcNAc oligomers, and of PAL and Pod activities by partially N-acetylated chitosan polymers and that both enzymes have to be activated for lignin biosynthesis and ensuing necrosis to occur.
