Zwitterionic chitosan, a chitosan derivative with a unique pH-dependent charge profile, was employed to create a stealth coating on the cationic surface of drug carriers. Zwitterionic chitosans were synthesized by amidation of chitosan with succinic anhydride. The succinic anhydride-conjugated chitosan
Wood-derived cellulosic fibers prepared in different ways were successfully employed to absorb simulated crude oil, demonstrating their possible use as absorbents in the case of oil spills. When dry fibers were used, the highest sorption capacity (six parts of oil

Particle-stabilised emulsions, so-called Pickering emulsions, are known to possess many beneficial properties, including being extremely stable. Starch granules isolated from quinoa have been used as emulsion stabilising particles. The granules were intact, 1-3 µm in diameter and modified with octenyl
