Multilayered textile coating based on a β-cyclodextrin polyelectrolyte for the controlled release of drugs
Adeline Martin,Nicolas Tabary,Laurent Leclercq,Jatupol Junthip,Stephanie Degoutin,François Aubert-Viard,Frederic Cazaux,Joel Lyskawa,Ludovic Janus,Marc Bria,Bernard Martel +10 more
TL;DR: The release study showed that drug reservoir properties and release kinetics could be controlled by the number of layers in the system and that TBBA release was faster than the multilayered coating degradation.

Lupin hull cellulose nanofiber aerogel preparation by supercritical CO2 and freeze drying
Deniz Ciftci,Ali Ubeyitogullari,Raquel Razzera Huerta,Ozan N. Ciftci,Rolando A. Flores,Marleny D.A. Saldaña +5 more
TL;DR: In this article, the effects of concentration and drying method on resultant aerogel properties (density, porosity, specific surface area, pore size and pore volume), crystallinity, thermal behavior and morphology were investigated.
Journal ArticleDOI
Supercritical impregnation of drugs and supercritical fluid deposition of metals into aerogels
TL;DR: A review of supercritical impregnation in organic and inorganic aerogels can be found in this paper, where the authors investigate the factors that influence the impregnation.

Photoactivatable BODIPYs Designed To Monitor the Dynamics of Supramolecular Nanocarriers
Yang Zhang,Subramani Swaminathan,Sicheng Tang,Jaume Garcia-Amorós,Marcia Boulina,Burjor Captain,James D. Baker,Francìisco M. Raymo +7 more
TL;DR: This work designed molecular guests with photoactivatable fluorescence for supramolecular hosts and demonstrated that the activation of the fluorescent cargo, under optical control, permits the tracking of the nanocarrier translocation across hydrogel matrices with the sequential acquisition of fluorescence images.

Isolation and structural characterization of a polysaccharide from fruits of Zizyphus jujuba cv. Junzao.
TL;DR: A water-soluble polysaccharide (ZP2a) was obtained by extraction with hot water followed by successive chromatographic purification using anion exchange and Sepharose CL-6B columns on high-performance gel permeation chromatography with an average molecular weight of 120,645 Da.
