HYDROXYAPATITE - CHITOSAN BIOCOMPOSITES
Journal Title: Progress on Chemistry and Application of Chitin and its Derivatives - Year 2008, Vol 0, Issue
Abstract
Both samples of HAp form with chitosan and it’s useful forms (MKCh, chitosan lactate) well shaped 3-dimentional forms – sponges. The sponges can be used as implants in orthopedic surgery. 3-dimentional structures of HAp/chitosan composites are a good base for scaffolds productin.

THE USE OF CHITIN AND CHITOSAN FOR THE REMOVAL OF REACTIVE BLACK 5 DYE
In this study, we investigated the effectiveness of Reactive Black 5 dye adsorption onto chitin and chitosan flakes. Adsorption capacity of chitin and chitosan, optimal pH of the adsorption process and reaction equilibri...
STRUCTURAL CHARACTERISTICS OF THERMOSENSITIVE CHITOSAN GLUTAMINATE HYDROGELS
Hydrogels that possess the ability of gelling in response to changes in the local environment, such as pH or temperature, have been examined extensively recently. In this paper the properties of thermosensitive chitosan...
CHITOSAN MICROSPHERES PREPARED BY MEMBRANE EMULSIFICATION FOR CHROMIUM REMOVAL FROM AQUEOUS SOLUTIONS
Chitosan is naturally abundant biopolymer that could be used as chelating sorbent for removal of metal ions from aqueous solutions. In this study the uniform-sized chitosan microspheres and their modified derivatives wer...
FORMATION AND CHARACTERIZATION OF SUCCINOYL CHITOSAN PARTICLES LOADED WITH WARNERIN
This study aims to obtain nanoparticles based on succinoyl chitosan loaded with Warnerin (War-SCNPs), low molecular weight cationic peptide. The nanoparticles of succinoyl chitosan (SCNPs) were prepared by salt coacervat...
SYNTHESIS OF CHITOSAN AND CARBOXYMETHYL CHITOSAN HYDROGELS BY ELECTRON BEAM IRRADIATION
Solutions of chitosan (CS) and carboxymethyl chitosan (CMCS) were subjected to irradiation by electron beam in presence of a crosslinking agent (poly(ethylene glycol) diacrylate - PEGDA) in order to produce carboxymethyl...
