The present invention relates to nanofibrillar polysaccharide hydrogels for use in the prevention and control of scarring and contraction in connection with wound healing or tissue repair.

This disclosure describes bone tissues engineered from a casted bio-nanocomposite comprising chitosan crosslinked with citric acid to cellulose nanocrystals (CNC) where the amount of CNC used was as high as 29.4%. The nanocomposite showed proper characteristics of a bone mimicking structure. Different layers of the bio-nanocomposite showed an average pore size of greater than 26 micrometers in diameter; a porosity of about 90%, firm structure, maximum bioactivity as measured by deposition of calcium phosphate from simulated body fluid (SBF) solution (gaining weight more than 20% after 3 days), decreased rate of in vitro degradation in PBS (7-60 days), about 10% after 7 days, and acceptable bone cell viability (greater than 80%) in 2D and 3D cultures. The compression modulus of the bio-nanocomposites increased about 4 times and exhibited very small changes in size during the swelling process compared to control.

A current collector protective glue includes a solvent and an adhesive. The solvent is selected from one or more of water, ethanol, NMP, acetone, and butanone. The adhesive is selected from one or more of cellulose, polyacrylic acid, styrene-butadiene rubber, styrene butadiene rubber, and nitrile rubber.

The invention relates to freeze-dried compositions comprising a) at least one polymer based on polyacrylic acids and salts thereof, b) at least one natural polymer, c) optionally at least one further polymer which differs from a) and b) and d) optionally one or more active compounds and/or auxiliary substances. The invention furthermore relates to a process for the preparation of such freeze-dried compositions, the combination of such freeze-dried compositions in kit-of-parts arrangements together with aqueous solutions and the use of the freeze-dried compositions and of the kit-of-parts combinations for cosmetic and pharmaceutical use, in particular for use as a cosmetic mask or as a wound covering and for the preparation of pharmaceutical agents for treatment of dermal wounds, such as, in particular, chronic wounds, ulcus cruris or decubitus.
