Graft copolymerization of D,L-lactic acid (LA) onto chitosan (CS) was attempted without using a catalyst. pH-sensitive hydrogels were obtained which are based on two different components: a natural polymer and a synthetic polymer. These polyester substituents provide the basis for hydrophobic intera

## Abstract The aim of the present work was to investigate the swelling behavior and __in vitro__ release of nifedipine from alginateβchitosan hydrogel beads. Structure and surface morphology of the hydrogel were characterized by FTIR and SEM, respectively. Alginateβchitosan mixed beads and alginat
Four types chitosan-based hydrogels have been prepared: cross-linked chitosan (cr-CS), cross-linked chitosan interpenetrating polyether polymer network (cr-CS/PE semi-IPN), cocross-linked chitosan and gelatin hybrid polymer network (CS/Gel HPN), and Chitosan/ Pectin (CS/Ptn) ionic complex hydrogels.
