Pullulan Fatty Ester Nanocoatings with Tunable Surface Wettability and Bio-Inert Surface Properties
Polysaccharide derivatives with tunable hydrophobicity offer a versatile platform for tailoring material properties through controlled chemical modification. In this study, pullulan was functionalized with saturated fatty acids (C14-C18) via N,N-carbonyldiimidazole-mediated esterification, yielding degrees of substitut...
