Water absorption in chitosan rapidly increases when the deacetylation degree decreases between 85
and 45%. This seems to contradict the fact that water absorption in chitin is much lower than that of
chitosan. The aim ...

[EN] Novel biomaterials are needed for bone tissue repair with improved mechanical performance compared to classical bioceramics. The objective of this work was to characterize a hybrid filler material, which is capable ...
Hydrogels based on nanocomposites of statistical poly(hydroxyethyl acrylate-co-ethyl acrylate) and silica, prepared by simultaneous copolymerization and generation of silica nanoparticles by sol-gel process at various ...
Water and polymer dynamics in hydrogels based on random copolymers of hydrophilic poly( hydroxyl ethyl acrylate) (PHEA) and hydrophobic poly(ethyl acrylate) (PEA), in wide ranges of composition, were investigated by means ...
