HAEMOSTATIC, RESORBABLE DRESSING OF NATURAL POLYMERS - HEMOGUARD
Journal Title: Progress on Chemistry and Application of Chitin and its Derivatives - Year 2015, Vol 0, Issue
Abstract
Investigations are presented in the preparation of a first aid haemostatic dressing that would exhibit an adequate haemostatic capacity in injuries and surgical wounds, an antibacterial activity to prevent primary and secondary infections, and offer safety in use.

CHITOSAN MICROSPHERES PREPARED BY MEMBRANE EMULSIFICATION FOR CHROMIUM REMOVAL FROM AQUEOUS SOLUTIONS
Chitosan is naturally abundant biopolymer that could be used as chelating sorbent for removal of metal ions from aqueous solutions. In this study the uniform-sized chitosan microspheres and their modified derivatives wer...
VISCOMETRIC STUDIES OF CHITOSAN/POLYACRYLAMIDE MIXTURES
Polymer-polymer interactions and miscibility for chitosan (Ch) and partially hydrolysed polyacrylamide (HPAM) have been investigated using dilute solution viscosity. The intrinsic viscosity, [η], and the viscosity intera...
THE INFLUENCE OF DIFFERENT KINDS OF CHITOSAN ON BIOAVAILABILITY OF ANTI-INFLAMMATORY DRUGS
Chitosan as a dietary supplement has been used in the treatment of obesity due to its capability of binding bioactive compounds. A molecule of a cationic polymer, such as chitosan, may bind acid drugs. The aim of the stu...
INFLUENCE OF NANOSILVER ON THERMAL STABILITY OF CHITOSAN
Nanoadditives for polymers have many valuable features: e.g. the ability to change the properties of polymers: mechanical strength, stability and heat resistance and resistance to radiation. These properties make them an...
CHARACTERISATION OF CHITOSAN AFTER CROSS-LINKING BY TANNIC ACID
Chitosan is widely applied in biomedical and cosmetic fields. For this reason, there is a need to modify this biopolymer to achieve new properties of chitosan-based materials. The properties of chitosan can be modified b...
