Shellac stands out among natural polymers as the sole animal-derived resin, boasting a complex polyester composition comprising polyhydroxy long-chain fatty acids and sesquiterpene acids. Its unique attributes include biocompatibility, non-toxicity, distinctive amphiphilicity, superb film-forming adhesive properties, excellent dielectric rapid drying, solubility in alkaline solutions while resisting acidic ones. These exceptional qualities have propelled shellac beyond its traditional role varnish decorative material, positioning it viable option for diverse applications such food packaging, pharmaceutical formulations, electronic devices, fiber dyeing, wood restoration. Furthermore, serves crucial carbon source graphene materials. This review comprehensively explores shellac's contributions to prolonging shelf life, enhancing sourcing of materials, facilitating delivery active substances, boosting performance organic field-effect transistors, enabling environmentally friendly textile providing protective coatings wood. Additionally, delves into current limitations future directions applications. By disseminating this knowledge, we aim deepen researchers' comprehension inspire further exploration, thereby fostering sustainable advancements across various industries.

Metal–Phenolic Network-Loaded Sodium Alginate-Based Antibacterial and Antioxidant Films Incorporated with Geranium Essential Oil

Polysaccharides, Год журнала: 2025, Номер 6(1), С. 15 - 15

Опубликована: Фев. 26, 2025

Owing to its natural degradability and excellent film-forming characteristics, sodium alginate (SA) is gaining growing popularity in the field of food packaging. However, insufficient antioxidant antibacterial properties hinder application. In current research, protocatechuic acid (PCA) Fe3+ were utilized fabricate a metal polyphenol network structure. Subsequently, geranium essential oil emulsion (GEOE) was incorporated into SA matrix, SA-based films prepared through flat-sheet casting method. The impacts PCA/Fe various concentrations GEOE on physical, structural, as well functional characteristics comprehensively examined. thickness between 30 50 μm. results showed that PCA/Fe, GEOE, exhibited good biocompatibility, formed uniform. incorporation significantly improved UV blocking ability, thermal stability, activity films. addition, enhanced total capacity from 3.5% 88%. This research could provide some theoretical basis for utilization networks oils within realm active packaging

Preparation and Characterization of Dual-Network Multifunctional Hydrogels Based on Peach Gum Polysaccharides: Ultrafast Self-Healing Ability, Favorable Mechanical Tunability, and Controlled Release Properties

Gels, Год журнала: 2025, Номер 11(4), С. 274 - 274

Опубликована: Апрель 6, 2025

Natural hydrogels have attracted considerable attention due to advantages of moisturizing, biocompatibility, and plasticity. In this study, a dual-network oxidized peach gum polysaccharide–carboxymethyl chitosan (OPGC) with ultrafast self-healing ability was constructed by self-assembly using polysaccharide (OPGP) carboxymethyl (CMCS). After complete fracture, OPGC rapidly self-healed within 30 s the structure formed hydrogen bonds between OPGP molecules Schiff base them CMCS. Meanwhile, exhibited good injectability biocompatibility. With increase CMCS from 0.5 wt% 2.5 wt%, gel formation time drastically shortened 12 min 3 min, while strength water-holding capacity were enhanced. Furthermore, experimental in vitro vivo animal studies demonstrated excellent drug loading hydrogels, release rate bactericide could be controlled adjusting content The outstanding properties for potential applications health medical fields.
