Summary: Mucoadhesive drug delivery systems (DDS) can enhance localized drug distribution and retention, promoting safer chemotherapy for colorectal cancer (CRC). Carbohydrate polymers, such as pectin (P) and chitosan (CS), are potential biomaterials for CRC-targeted DDS due to their gelling ability, mucoadhesive property, colonic digestibility, and anticancer activity. Thiolation can augment polymer mucoadhesion, while the P-CS polyelectrolyte complex improves structural stability. TP-CS composites show superior mucoadhesive properties compared to single- or dual-crosslinked counterparts, making them promising biomaterials for CRC-targeted DDS.

Summary: The interaction between TiO2 nanoparticles (NPs) and TC affects the adsorption and desorption behavior on magnetized kaolin (MK). TC molecules combine on MK through hydrogen bonding, pi-pi bonding, and hydrophobic interactions, while TiO2 NPs adsorption on MK provides additional hydrogen-bonding sites for TC adsorption. The complexation of TC and TiO2 NPs weakens the electrical attraction between MK and TiO2 NPs, leading to a decrease in stable adsorption state TiO2 NPs.

Summary: By hybridizing TiO2 photocatalyst with CaCO3 as the wall material and using linseed oil as the core material, self-cleaning and self-repairing microcapsules were produced using in-situ precipitation. The microcapsules were evaluated for their morphology, chemical composition, thermal stability, and self-cleaning and self-repairing properties. Results showed that the microcapsules had a rough and spherical surface, along with excellent thermal stability and repeatability. Increasing the dosage of microcapsules significantly increased the degradation rate of methylene blue, while the self-repairing effect of micro-cracks became more evident. The optimal microcapsule dosage was found to be 7.0 wt%.
