Impact of high energy irradiation on chitin and chitosan

Chitin is a structural polysaccharide and is the second most important natural polymer in the world. The main sources exploited are two marine crustaceans, shrimp and crabs.

Preparation and characterization of artificial skin using chitosan and gelatin composites for potential biomedical application

A bioadhesive wound-dressing material based on the combination of gelatin and chitosan with a proper ratio was developed and successfully applied in biomedical fields.

Preparation and properties of biodegradable polymer/nano-hydroxyapatite bioceramic scaffold for spongy bone regeneration

Biodegradable polymer/bioceramic composite scaffolds can overcome the limitations of conventional ceramic bone substitutes, such as brittleness and difficulty in shaping.

About Research Group

Our Research group devoted to contribute the field of environment and biomaterials through the study and development based on natural polymers. This multidisciplinary area expertise in engineering, life sciences and clinical medicine to understand the body's own biomaterials, the cellular machinery by which the biomaterials are assembled and degraded, and how the dynamic microscale interactions of these components influence tissue physiology.
