Concentration of polymers, sodium alginate, sodium carboxymethyl cellulose and chitosan, when increased, lead to slower drug release. When the concentration of sodium alginate increases, cumulative ...

Each material should be separately weighed in an analytical scale with a 10-4 precision (Adventure TM Ohaus, Ohaus Corporation, Pine Brook, NJ, USA) at the exact proportion for the total desired ...

A crucial requirement for most engineering materials is the excellent balance of strength and toughness. By mimicking the hybrid hierarchical structure in nacre, a kind of nacre-like paper based on ...

A biopolymer-based formulation for robust and active food packaging material was developed. This material consisted of a blend of three biopolymers (guar gum–sodium alginate–i-carrageenan) reinforced ...
