Complete glutaraldehyde elimination during chitosan hydrogel drying by SC-CO2 processing
TL;DR: In this article, a supercritical carbon dioxide (SC-CO2) gel drying process was proposed to obtain CH scaffolds and, for the first time, the simultaneous elimination of unreacted glutaraldehyde (GTA), taking advantage of its solubility in supercritical mixtures.

Polyvinyl alcohol (PVA)–cellulose nanofibril (CNF)–multiwalled carbon nanotube (MWCNT) hybrid organic aerogels with superior mechanical properties
TL;DR: In this article, the material properties of these green hybrid aerogels were characterized extensively using various techniques, and it was found that adding a small amount of CNFs and MWCNTs increased the mechanical properties of the PVA aerogel drastically.
Journal ArticleDOI
Thermal Superinsulating Materials Made from Nanofibrillated Cellulose-Stabilized Pickering Emulsions.
TL;DR: It is demonstrated that NFC-stabilized Pickering emulsions are excellent templates to produce fully biobased, mechanically strong thermal superinsulating materials.
Journal ArticleDOI
A new glucomannan from Bletilla striata: structural and anti-fibrosis effects.
TL;DR: In this study, BSPb plays an important role in protection against the renal fibrosis effect, which is probably mediated by down-regulated TGF-β RI, T GF-β RII, and α-SMA in vitro.

A review of chitin and chitosan applications
TL;DR: Chitin is the most abundant natural amino polysaccharide and is estimated to be produced annually almost as much as cellulose, and recent progress in chitin chemistry is quite noteworthy as mentioned in this paper.
