Antifungal hydrogels [PDF]

open access: yesProceedings of the National Academy of Sciences, 2007
Fungi are increasingly identified as major pathogens in bloodstream infections, often involving indwelling devices. Materials with antifungal properties may provide an important deterrent to these infections. Here we describe amphogel, a dextran-based hydrogel into which amphotericin B is adsorbed.

Dual Cross-Linked Starch–Borax Double Network Hydrogels with Tough and Self-Healing Properties

open access: yesFoods, 2022
Herein, we have fabricated starch–borax double cross-linked network (DC) hydrogels with tough and self-healing properties using a one-pot method. The addition of borax significantly increased the storage modulus and loss modulus of these starch–borax DC ...
