Journal ArticleDOI
Helicoidal self-ordering of cellulose microfibrils in aqueous suspension.
TL;DR: An in vitro system that attracts by its simplicity, where above a critical concentration the colloidal dispersion separates spontaneously into a chiral nematic liquid crystalline phase and solidifies into regularly twisted fibrillar layers that mimic the structural organization of helicoids in nature.
Journal ArticleDOI
In vitro chiral nematic ordering of chitin crystallites
TL;DR: Microfibrillar fragments of purified crab and shrimp chitin were prepared by hydrolysis in 3 M HCl at its boiling point and dries to a solid film which mimics the helicoid organization characteristic of the chit in microfibrils in the cuticle of arthropods.
Journal ArticleDOI
Polyester-based micelles and nanoparticles for the parenteral delivery of taxanes.
TL;DR: This review focuses on the current application of polyester-based micelles and nanoparticles to the tumour targeting of taxanes.
Journal ArticleDOI
Enhanced Ordering of Liquid Crystalline Suspensions of Cellulose Microfibrils: A Small Angle Neutron Scattering Study
TL;DR: In this article, small angle neutron scattering (SANS) was used to characterize the enhanced ordering induced by magnetic and shear alignment of chiral nematic liquid crystals of cellulose microfibrils in aqueous suspension.
Journal ArticleDOI
Degree of deacetylation of chitosan using conductometric titration and solid-state NMR
TL;DR: In this paper, the degree of deacetylation of chitosan samples was determined by the conductometric approach and solid-state NMR, which was compared to those obtained by ultraviolet spectrophotometry, a frequently used technique for these determinations.
