A physically and chemically cross-linked Al3+-CS/PAM-MBA dual-network gel with enhanced fire-suppression performance was prepared using chitosan (CS), acrylamide (AM), and N,N’-methylenebisacrylamide (MBA) as base materials. The first network w...
Gel-based materials have found important applications in fields such as food, healthcare, cosmetics, and bioanalysis [...]
Wound healing is a complex process involving stages such as hemostasis, inflammation, proliferation, and remodeling. In this context, polymers are useful materials for wound treatment. This research used the Casting method to prepare films from 2% po...
The carob tree (Ceratonia siliqua L.) is a defining species of the Mediterranean region, and its fruit, the carob pod, has seen a notable increase in economic interest in recent years, primarily due to the production of locust bean gum (E410), a wide...
In this work, cellulose nanocrystals (CNCs) were obtained from the wood of Acacia farnesiana L. Willd (Huizache) via acid hydrolysis; then, they were used to reinforce polyacrylic acid–co-acrylamide (AAc/AAm) hydrogels synthesized in a solution...
Atopic dermatitis (AD) is a chronic inflammatory skin condition characterized by impaired barrier function and persistent inflammation, necessitating advanced therapeutic solutions. This study presents the development of a novel composite hydrogel sc...
Surimi-based products are nutritionally valuable due to their essential amino acid composition, their content of high-quality proteins with excellent digestibility, and their low fat content. However, to achieve the desired texture, a significant amo...
Injectable recombinant collagen hydrogels (RCHs) are crucial in biomedical applications. Culture conditions play an important role in the preparation of hydrogels. However, determining the characteristics of hydrogels under certain conditions and det...
Due to the intensification of global warming and the greenhouse effect, the exploration and research of sustainable sensors have become a research direction of people. Cellulose-based hydrogels, as a new kind of green material with strong plasticity,...
Gel material sensors are lightweight, have fast response speeds and low driving voltages, and have recently become a popular research topic worldwide in the bionics field. A sensing unit is formed by pressing two kinds of gel materials together: a po...
