## Abstract Chitin was modified to obtain controlled amphiphilic polysaccharides which may be either cationic (chitosan) or anionic (carboxymethylchitin). The hydrophileโlipophile balance (HLB, also called hydrophilicโhydrophobic balance) was modified with respect to different parameters (pH, degre
## Abstract Polyvinyl alcohol (PVA) hydrogels have been considered potentially suitable for applications as engineered blood vessels because of their structure and mechanical properties. However, PVA's hydrophilicity hinders its capacity to act as a substrate for cell attachment. As a remedy, PVA w
## Abstract A novel nanohybrid hydrogel was __in situ__ prepared by means of a free radical crosslinking polymerization route of methacrylic acid in the presence of multiโwalled carbon nanotubes (MWCNTs). The structural and morphological characterizations revealed that poly(methacrylic acid) networ
