In several experiments, the wearable accurately identified the presence of hydrogen peroxide in groups of plants exposed to a pathogen. In theory, the research notes that a similar type of wearable ...

To solve this problem, researchers designed a hydrogel coating using calcium alginate and chitosan, which is loaded with an anti-inflammatory drug called dexamethasone sodium phosphate.

Bee products such as honey, pollen, and propolis loaded thin films were evaluated according to their potential as wound ...

The novel hydrogel developed by the team consists of three different polymer layers—chitosan, polyvinyl alcohol and polyaniline—intertwined together, making an Interpenetrating Polymer Network ...

Researchers have created a sensor that monitors plant stress, which could one day be a game-changer for anyone with a black thumb.

Bee-derived materials like honey and propolis show promise in wound healing, with polymeric films exhibiting key ...

The general applicability of the system is demonstrated with the creation of layered hydrogels from both chitosan and alginate, which are cationic and anionic polyelectrolytes, respectively.
