Chemistry of Chitosan Aerogels: Three‐Dimensional Pore Control for Tailored Applications
TL;DR: This work critically discusses the practical feasibility of potential chitosan aerogel applications compared to conventional and other biopolymer-based porous or nonporous materials.
Book ChapterDOI
Fundamentals and Applications of Chitosan
TL;DR: This chapter highlights selected works on chitosan applications published over the last two decades, and describes the particular macromolecular structure, biocompatibility, biodegradability and other intrinsic functional properties of this biopolymer.

Angela Kae T. Chang,Ronaldo R. Frias,Lourdes V. Alvarez,Ursela G. Bigol,John Paul Matthew D. Guzman +4 more
TL;DR: In this article, chitosan is derived from Auricularia sp., and its antibacterial property, together with commercial chitosa, were evaluated against Escherichia coli and Staphylococcus aureus.
Journal ArticleDOI
Synthesis, characterization, and antifungal evaluation of diethoxyphosphoryl polyaminoethyl chitosan derivatives.
TL;DR: Novel water-soluble functional chitosan derivatives were synthesized by grafting polyaminoethyl and diethoxyphosphoryl groups in accordance with a strategy of improving protonation potential and showed better antifungal activities and water solubility than chitOSan, and had good biocompatibility.

Journal ArticleDOI
Preparation and antibacterial activity of chitosan nanoparticles.
TL;DR: Results show that chitosan nanoparticles and copper-loaded nanoparticles could inhibit the growth of various bacteria tested and exposed to S. choleraesuis led to the disruption of cell membranes and the leakage of cytoplasm.
Journal ArticleDOI
Antibacterial activity of chitosans and chitosan oligomers with different molecular weights.
TL;DR: Antibacterial activities of chitosan was inversely affected by pH (pH 4.5-5.9 range tested), with higher activity at lower pH value, and bactericidal effects with gram-positive bacteria than gram-negative bacteria in the presence of 0.1% chitOSan.
