Freeze-dried macroporous foam prepared from chitosan/xanthan gum/montmorillonite nanocomposites
Freeze-dried macroporous foams were prepared from an aqueous colloidal suspension of chitosan/xanthangum/Na+-montmorillonite nanoclay (MMT). The suspension formed gel structure as a consequence of freezing, named cryogel. Cryogel is defined as a gel formed due to the concentration increase of the su...
