Ionic liquid-assisted cellulose coating of chitosan hydrogel beads and their application as drug carriers

Abstract The present study proposes a simple yet effective method of cellulose coating onto chitosan (CS) hydrogel beads and application thereof as drug carriers. The beads were coated with cellulose dissolved in 1-ethyl-3-methylimidazolium acetate, an ionic liquid (IL) via a one-pot one-step proces...
