Mucoadhesive cellulose Nanocrystal-chitosan nanocomposite for the delivery of hydrophobic compounds
Cellulose nanocrystals (CNC) have received much attention as a drug delivery vehicle, but their hydrophilic nature hinders hydrophobic drug loading. Ionotropic gelation using CNC and chitosan (CS) can enhance the loading/encapsulation capacity of hydrophobic compounds, improve colloidal stability, a...
