Enhanced Antibacterial effect of chitosan film using Montmorillonite/CuO nanocomposite
Afsaneh Nouri,Mohammad Tavakkoli Yaraki,Mohammad Ghorbanpour,Shilpi Agarwal,Vinod Kumar Gupta +4 more
TL;DR: The obtained data showed that introducing small amount MMT-CuO to chitosan films could enhance the mechanical, antibacterial properties, and decreased both water solubility and UV transition with the lowest effect on the transparency of the films.

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.
