Microfluidic-assisted synthesis of hemispherical and discoidal chitosan microparticles at an oil/water interface.
TL;DR: This study reports a facile method for the synthesis of hemispherical and discoidal chitosan microparticles by a combination of microfluidic technology and gelation strategy at an oil/water interface using a simple, low‐cost and high‐throughput process.
Journal ArticleDOI
Preparation and characterization of polysaccharide - silica hybrid aerogels
TL;DR: It is shown, that the addition of silica to pectin, xanthan, alginate and guar significantly improved their structural properties, primarily seen in the drastic increase of the surface area.

TL;DR: The correlation between PEG consumption and polysaccharides properties for human health (e.g., intestinal microecology, “bridge effect” in obesity, gut microbiota) are critically discussed for the first time.
Journal ArticleDOI
Role of rheological properties on physical chitosan aerogels obtained by supercritical drying
TL;DR: Aerogels stress-strain responses were also successfully fitted using a hyperelastic equation with three adjustable parameters (Yeoh), showing that this type of models must be taken into account when large stresses are studied.

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.
