The development of 3D printable hydrogels based on the crosslinking between chitosan and gelatin is proposed. Chitosan were both functionalized with methyl furan groups. Chemical modification was performed by reductive amination furfural involving lysine residues amino groups to generate tailored properties. present in polymers exploited for efficient via Diels-Alder ligation PEG-Star-maleimide under cell-compatible conditions. obtained chitosan-gelatin hybrid employed formulate biopolymers...
A protocol based on the combination of different analytical methodologies is proposed to standardize experimental conditions for reproducible formulations hybrid hydrogels. The final material, gelatin and chitosan functionalized with methylfuran cross-linked 4-arm-PEG-maleimide, able mimic role, dynamism, structural complexity extracellular matrix. Physical–chemical properties starting polymers finals constructs were characterized exploiting HP-SEC-TDA, UV, FT-IR, NMR, TGA.
Tattoo colorants decompose under solar radiation and when exposed to laser light for their removal, leading the accumulation in dermis of toxic products. Aim this study was develop lipid microparticles (LMs) loaded with colorant, Acid Red 87 (C.I. 45380) used tattoo inks, investigate effect system on photostability colorant simulated sunlight or irradiation. LMs C.I. 45380 were prepared by melt emulsification using tristearin phosphatidylcholine as excipients. They characterized optical...
