The use of chitin binding proteins for glycoprotein analysis [PDF]

open access: yes, 2009
The focus of the pharmaceutical industry has dramatically shifted in the past number of years. Traditional drugs were synthesised using chemical reactions have been replaced by recombinant glycoprotein molecules.

Synthesis of Poly (2‐hydroxyethyl ethyleneimine) and Its Mucoadhesive Film Formulations When Blended with Chitosan for Buccal Delivery of Haloperidol

open access: yesMacromolecular Bioscience, EarlyView.
Mucoadhesive chitosan‐poly(2‐hydroxyethyl ethyleneimine) (P2HEEI) films were developed for buccal delivery of haloperidol. P2HEEI is synthesized by reacting linear polyethyleneimine with 2‐bromoethanol, achieving high solubility, low glass transition temperature, and biocompatibility.

Biodegradable Polymers for Plant Nutrient Delivery and Recovery

open access: yesMacromolecular Bioscience, EarlyView.
This review article discusses the use of biodegradable polymers to address several grand challenges in agriculture: to improve the delivery of nitrogen and phosphorous to crops, to optimize plant uptake, and to enhance the recovery of these nutrients from wastewater, to recycle them and reduce water pollution. Abstract The current use of fertilizers is

Dynamics of elongation of nematic tactoids in an electric field [PDF]

open access: yesarXiv
Nematic tactoids are spindle-shaped droplets of a nematic phase nucleated in the co-existing isotropic phase. According to equilibrium theory, their internal structure and shape are controlled by a balance between the elastic deformation of the director field, induced by the preferred anchoring of that director field to the interface, and the ...

Glucan Phosphorylase‐Catalyzed Enzymatic Synthesis of a New Unnatural Heteroaminopolysaccharide, Glucosamino‐2‐deoxyglucan, and Its N‐Benzylation for pH Responsive Property

open access: yesMacromolecular Chemistry and Physics, EarlyView.
A new unnatural heteroaminopolysaccahride, that is, α(1→$1{\to} $4)‐linked glucosamino‐2‐deoxyglucan, is successfully synthesized by thermostable glucan phosphorylase (from Aquifex aeolicus VF5)‐catalyzed enzymatic copolymerization of α‐d‐glucosamine 1‐phosphate/‐glucal as comonomers from maltotriose as a primer.

Enhanced Piezoelectricity in Sustainable-by-design Chitosan Nanocomposite Elastomers for Prosthetics, Robotics, and Circular Electronics [PDF]

open access: yesarXiv
Piezoelectricity, the generation of electric charge in response to mechanical stress, is a key property in both natural and synthetic materials. This study significantly boosts the piezoelectric response of chitosan, a biodegradable biopolymer, by integrating chitin/chitosan nanocrystals into natural chitosan-based thin film elastomers.

In Situ Gels for Nasal Delivery: Formulation, Characterization and Applications

open access: yesMacromolecular Materials and Engineering, EarlyView.
Drug delivery through the nasal route offers many advantages, but is hampered by a number of challenges, such as the short drug retention time caused by mucociliary clearance. In situ forming gels, which undergo a sol‐to‐gel transition with specific triggers at the site of action, present real opportunities in this field.
