“…Today, the L‐b‐L technique has also been used to manufacture active films with high adhesion to the food surface (Marin et al., ). In this way, multilayered self‐assembled Cs‐containing films have extended the shelf life of fresh‐cut melon (Poverenov et al., ) and strawberry (Ban et al., ).…”

The self‐assembled natural and synthetic polymers are booming. However, natural polymers obtained from native or modified carbohydrate polymers (CPs), such as celluloses, chitosan, glucans, gums, pectins, and starches, have had special attention as raw material in the manufacture of self‐assembled polymer composite materials having several forms: films, hydrogels, micelles, and particles. The easy manipulation of the architecture of the CPs, as well as their high availability in nature, low cost, and being sustainable and green polymers have been the main positive points in the use of them for different applications. CPs have been used as building blocks for composite structures, and their easy orientation and ordering has given rise to self‐assembled CPs (SCPs). These macromolecules have been little studied for food applications. Nonetheless, their research has grown mainly in the last 5 years as encapsulated food additive wall materials, food coatings, and edible films. The multifaceted properties (systems sensitive to pH, temperature, ionic strength, types of ions, mechanical force, and enzymes) of these devices are leading to the development of advanced food materials. This review article focused on the analysis of SCPs for food applications in order to encourage other research groups for their preparation and implementation.

“…Once we have these coordinates, it is easy to calculate a density, as a ratio between the volume element of the polymeric matter, whether structured or not, and the volume element of the space. Formally, we have for the density of polymeric matter in space, the relation: (7) where J(φ, u, n; x)represents the Jacobian of transformation (x 1 , x 2 , x 3 )→ (φ u, ν) that we eventually discovered through the principle of harmonic application.…”

“…The main advantage of the local therapy over the systemic treatment resides in the targeted release of the drug, thus limiting the side effects on normal cells [4][5][6]. To assure a prolonged release of the drug at the illness site, the hydrogels proved to be the most suitable materials, those based on chitosan being preferred due to their intrinsic properties such as biocompatibility and biodegradability [7].…”

We build a theoretical model based on a generalization of harmonic applications of Misner-type. It results a sine-Gordon type fractal differential equation whose elliptical solutions can describe, through a convenient choice of fractal dynamic constants, various modes of drug release. Thus, the entire class of empirical models (Higuchi, Korsmeyer-Peppas, Peppas-Sahlin) describing the drug release processes can be dispensed with.

“…1 Many studies dedicated to the chitosan, revealed that it is biocompatible, nontoxic (its degradation products are known natural metabolites), nonantigenic, haemostatic, antimicrobial, fungistatic, spermicidal, central nervous system depressant, immunoadjuvant and present antitumor activity, the ability to improve wound healing or clot blood, the ability to form protective films and coatings, selective binding of acidic liquids, thereby lowering serum cholesterol levels and hypertension prevention, property to accelerates bone formation or environmental protection. [1][2][3][4][5] All these features transformed the chitosan into a desired material for bio-applications. One direction which attracted the researchers' attention was the exploiting of chitosan for preparing hydrogels.…”

The study deals with the exploration of the possibilities to control the morphology of cinnamyl-imine-chitosan hydrogels in view of their bio-application. Three series of hydrogels were synthetized from chitosan of three different molecular weights and cinnamaldehyde, varying the molar ratio between the amine groups on chitosan and aldehyde functional groups. The hydrogel morphology has been monitored by scanning electron microscopy. The variation of the hydrogel morphology as a function of chitosan molecular weight, crosslinking degree, and incubation conditions has been monitored. It was concluded that there are multiple possibilities of tuning the morphology of these hydrogels in function of the targeted application.
