Water-Dependent Blending of Pectin Films: The Mechanics of Conjoined Biopolymers

Water-Dependent Blending of Pectin Films: The Mechanics of Conjoined Biopolymers

Biodegradable pectin polymers have been recommended for a variety of biomedical applications, ranging from the delivery of oral drugs to the repair of injured visceral organs. A promising approach to regulate pectin biostability is the blending of pectin films. To investigate the development of conj...
