3D Printed Chitosan-Pectin Hydrogels: From Rheological Characterization to Scaffold Development and Assessment
(MDPI, 2021-10-21)
Chitosan-pectin hydrogels were prepared, and their rheological properties were assessed in order to select the best system to develop scaffolds by 3D printing. Hydrogels showed a weak gel behavior with shear thinning flow ...
Evaluation of Bioactive Release Kinetics from Crosslinked Chitosan Films with Aloe Vera
(Elsevier, 2021-07-01)
Thermocompression was employed to prepare citric acid-crosslinked chitosan films with Aloe vera (AV) as bioactive compound. Films were easy to handle and mechanical properties did not change with the addition of AV up to ...
Characterization of Bio-Inspired Electro-Conductive Soy Protein Films
(MDPI, 2021-01-28)
Protein-based conductive materials are gaining attention as alternative components of electronic devices for value-added applications. In this regard, soy protein isolate (SPI) was processed by extrusion in order to obtain ...
New algorithm for the elucidation of functional properties of gelatin-based materials
(Pergamon-Elsevier, 2021-10)
In the present work, fish gelatin was employed to develop renewable and biodegradable materials, reducing environmental problems associated with conventional petroleum-based materials. Glycerol was used as plasticizer and ...
3D-Printed Mucoadhesive Collagen Scaffolds as a Local Tetrahydrocurcumin Delivery System
(MDPI, 2021-10-15)
Native collagen doughs were processed using a syringe-based extrusion 3D printer to obtain collagen scaffolds. Before processing, the rheological properties of the doughs were analyzed to determine the optimal 3D printing ...
