Hydrogels Based on Chitosan and Chitosan Derivatives
Currently, various studies report the synthesis of hydrogels from water-soluble CS derivatives, such as carboxymethyl CS, quaternized CS, (such as TMC) zwitterionic CS, oligomerized CS, and so on, and their use as drug delivery systems [155, 156]. The chemical modification of the CS backbone without modification of its initial backbone (to

Removal of Pb(ii) and Cd(ii) from wastewater using
This study describes the synthesis method of water-soluble, low-toxicity, photostable highly luminescent probes based on I–III–VI2 type semiconductor quantum dots (QDs) and the possibility of tumor targeting in living animals. Cd-free high-quality CuInS2/ZnS core/shell QDs were synthesized, and their surfaces were reacted with mercaptoundecanoic acid for aqueous phase transfer followed by

Mini-Review Drug Carriers: Not an Innocent Delivery Man
Chitosan derivatives. Chitosan is one of cationic polysaccharides derived from the natural chitin. As a cationic polymer with favorable property, it has been widely used to form polyelectrolyte complexes with polyanions for drug delivery [15, 16].Chitosan is a linear copolymer composed by glucosamine and N-acteyl glucosamine units, via β-(1, 4) linkages, namely 2-amino-2
