Pulmonary drug delivery with aerogels: engineering of alginate and alginate-hyaluronic acid microspheres
Tamara Athamneh,Tamara Athamneh,Adil Amin,Edit Benke,Rita Ambrus,Pavel Gurikov,Irina Smirnova,Claudia S. Leopold +7 more
TL;DR: In this article, the aerogel technology was used to prepare pulmonary drug carriers consisting of alginate and alginates-hyaluronic acid by an emulsion gelation technique and supercritical CO2 drying.
Journal ArticleDOI
Fabrication of porous chitin with continuous substructure by regeneration from gel with CaBr2·2H2O/methanol
TL;DR: Scanning electron microscopic results supported that the fabrication of porous chitins with continuous channel substructure by regeneration from gels with CaBr2·2H2O/methanol solution consisted of continuous substructures of porous channels.

Effect of Ethanol on the Textural Properties of Whey Protein and Egg White Protein Hydrogels during Water-Ethanol Solvent Exchange
TL;DR: It was found that the solvent exchange influences the ion concentration within the gels and, therefore, the interactions between molecules in the gel structure.

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.
