They each have their properties that render them useful for certain applications such as the water solubility of alginate, the thermo-sensitivity of chitosan, the abundance of cellulose and starch, or the cell adhesion and proliferation of gelatin and collagen. This Special Issue will explore the design, synthesis, processing, characterization, and applications of new functional natural-based polymers.Research & information: generalbicsscBiology, life sciencesbicsscBiochemistrybicssclight conversion filmcellulose acetateeuropiumsensitizationX-ray photoelectron spectroscopysurface plasmon resonancethin filmquantum dot4-(2-pyridylazo)resorcinolchitosangraphene oxide3D printingcarboxymethyl cellulosehydrogellyophilizationdissolutionrelease modelcustomizationNO-donortopical releasepolymeric matricesmicrobial infectionswound healingblood circulationsemisynthetic polymersnatural rubberrice husk ashalginatemechanical propertiesdielectric propertiesnanohydrogelfood applicationsbiopolymerspolysaccharideneural networkchicken feetsensorial qualityfood qualitygelatinehyaluronic acidpolyethylene oxideelectrospinningnanofiberswound dressingspectinpectinasewheat branbanana peelBacillus amyloliquefaciensprebioticsmucilagepectin polysaccharideOpuntia ficus-indicaaloe veraacemannanCactaceaeAsphodelaceaeporcine gastric mucinmethacryloyl mucindouble-cross-linked networkscircular dichroismmechanical characterizationdate palm trunk meshcelluloselignocellulosic wastealpha cellulosenanocelluloseagro-byproductBacillus licheniformisbioconversionpomelo albedosucrolyticlubricanttribologyalbumin depositioncontact lenssurface roughnessbio-based polyurethanesprepolymerscellulose-derived polyolcellulose-citratepolyurethane compositespoly(lactic acid)nanocompositestanninligninthermal degradation kineticsdecomposition mechanismpyrolysisnanocompositenanofertilizerslow releaseammonia oxidase genequantitative polymerase chain reactionmicroflora N cyclenutrient use efficiencysoil N contentaerogelscold plasma coatinghydrophobizationpore structurechitinous fishery wasteschitinasecrab shellsPaenibacillusN-acetyl-D-glucosaminephenoladhesive hydrogelsnanomaterialssurface modificationlatexlignocellulosic fibersconventional fillersCNCesterification reactiongraft copolymerizationhydrophobic modificationflocculantcrosslinkingpeptidesglutaraldehydespecified risk materialslaccasemelanindecolorizationnatural mediatorsglycerolpolymer electrolyteionic conductivitybiochemistrypH and rumen temperatureprotozoazero valent ironnanoparticlesethylene glycolmethylene bluepolyhydroxyalkanoatespoly(3-hydroxybutyrate-co-3-hydroxyhexanoatemelt processingextrusioninjection moldingelongation at breakcrystallizationDoEoil palm biomass wasteanionic hydrogelswellingsalt crosslinking agentCoNi nanocompositecellulose paperantibacterial potentialdegradationannealingacetylationpotato starchemulsion capacityFTIRMalva parvifloranatural polymersphysicochemical propertiesrheologybirch woodpre-treatmentprocess parameterlignocellulose2-furaldehydeKomagataeibacterstretchable bacterial celluloseenhanced strainvitamin Ccollagenanisotropyelectron irradiationtensile testactivated carbonMnO2Co NPsantibacterial activityhydrogelsantimicrobial activitiesfunctionalized materialscellulose derivativesflexor tendon repairanti-inflammatoryanti-adhesionantimicrobialpolymer-based constructsbiosorbentcopperadsorptionmodel studiesaqueous mediumbiodegradable polymerschemical modificationfood packagingfree radical polymerizationsuperabsorbentwater-retaining agentthermal propertiesMimosa pudica mucilageextraction optimizationBox-Behnken designresponse surface methodologypH-responsive on–off switchingzero-order releaseantimicrobial activitybacterial cellulosecytotoxicitynisinstabilityResearch & information: generalBiology, life sciencesBiochemistryMignon Arnedt1322451Mignon ArnothBOOK9910595079003321Functional Natural-Based Polymers3035022UNINA
