Journal ArticleDOI
Stimuli-Responsive Polymeric Systems for Biomedical Applications
TL;DR: The general aspects of the different types of stimuli that can be used to modulate the response are reviewed mainly for the case of hydrogels and surfaces, based on natural‐origin or biodegradable macromolecules.
Journal ArticleDOI
Graft copolymerized chitosan-present status and applications
TL;DR: This article reviews the various methods such as free radical, radiation, enzymatic and cationic graft copolymerization onto chitosan, the factors influencing on the grafting parameters such as grafting percentage and grafting efficiency, and the properties of grafted chitOSan.
