Antioxidant, antibacterial and antitumoral activities of kraft lignin from hardwood factionated by acid precipitation
(Elsevier, 2020-11-10)
Kraft lignin, so far useful for energy generation, has been gathering considerable attention as
an alternative material to replace fossil-based resources mainly due to its high phenolic content.
However, the wide molecular ...
Yerba mate extract in microfibrillated cellulose and corn starch films as a potential wound healing bandage
(MDPI, 2020-11-27)
Microfibrillated cellulose films have been gathering considerable attention due to their high
mechanical properties and cheap cost. Additionally, it is possible to include compounds within the
fibrillated structure in ...
Effect of cullulose size-concentration on the structure of polyvinyl alcohol hydrogels.
(Elsevier, 2020-06-11)
Microfibrillated cellulose as a reinforcement agent has been investigated extensively due to their unique characteristics, which can reorder the structure of polymers and hydrogels leading to improved mechanical properties ...
Characterisation and in vivo evaluation of Araucaria angustifolia pinhão seed coat nanosuspension as a functional food source
(Royal Society of Chemistry, 2020-10-08)
Araucaria angustifolia seeds are culturally important from South America; however, the
seed coat is generally discarded and have yet to find a beneficial commercial impact. We
propose a new formulation to the usage of ...
The production of a novel poly(vinyl alcohol) hydrogel cryogenic spheres for immediate release using a droplet system.
(IOP Science, 2019-06-05)
Although freeze-thaw mechanism for producing crosslinked hydrogels is relatively easy and simple, it
lacks sufficient integrity and support leading to modifications on its three-dimensional polymeric
network arrangement ...
Development, characterization and cell viability inhibition of PVA spheres loaded with Doxorubicin and 4′-Amino-1-Naphthyl-Chalcone (D14) for osteosarcoma
(MDPI, 2021-08-06)
Chalcones (1,3-diaryl-2-propen-1-ones) are naturally occurring polyphenols with known anticancer activity against a variety of tumor cell lines, including osteosarcoma (OS). In this paper, we present the preparation and ...
Bioactive composites fabricated by freezing-thawing method for bone regeneration applications.
(Wiley, 2016-04)
Hydrogels are widely used for controlled delivery of therapeutic agents. However, hydrogels lack bioactivity to encourage bone formation and mechanical integrity. Moreover, chemically crosslinked hydrogels exhibit cytotoxic ...
