A chitosan/dopamine-TiO2 composite nanofiltration membrane for antifouling in water purification
Dong Wang,Junkang Lin,Jianhua Huang,Hui Zhang,Shan Lin,Lihui Chen,Yonghao Ni,Yonghao Ni,Liulian Huang +8 more
TL;DR: In this paper, a cellulose-based composite nanofiltration membrane (CS/DA-TiO2-NFM) with excellent anti-fouling performance was prepared through casting of both chitosan (CS) and TiO2 modified by dopamine (DA)-TiO 2) on the cellulose substrate membrane.
Journal ArticleDOI
Quaternized Polysaccharide-Based Cationic Micelles as a Macromolecular Approach to Eradicate Multidrug-Resistant Bacterial Infections while Mitigating Antimicrobial Resistance.
TL;DR: QCS-2 is identified as the optimized antimicrobial agent with a low propensity for development of drug resistance and significant anti-infective effects on MRSA in vivo comparable to that of vancomycin, avoiding excessive inflammation and promoting the formation of new blood vessels, hair follicles, and collagen deposition to thus expedite wound healing.
Journal ArticleDOI
Study on Preparation of a Chitosan/Vitamin C Complex and Its Properties in Cosmetics:
TL;DR: In this article, a chitosan/vitamin C complex (CSVC) was characterized using ultraviolet-visual images using the color spectrum of the ultraviolet-visible spectrum (UV-VIS).
Journal ArticleDOI
Chitosan Augments Tetramycin against Soft Rot in Kiwifruit and Enhances Its Improvement for Kiwifruit Growth, Quality and Aroma
TL;DR: In this article, the co-application of chitosan and tetramycin against kiwifruit soft rot and its effects on the disease resistance, growth, quality and aroma of kiwi fruit were investigated.
Journal ArticleDOI
Fluorinated Quaternary Chitosan Derivatives: Synthesis, Characterization, Antibacterial Activity, and Killing Kinetics.
TL;DR: F fluorinated quaternary chitosan derivatives can serve as great candidates to be investigated as environmentally more benign, nontherapeutic antimicrobial agents that could serve as alternatives to the heavy reliance on antibiotics, which are currently in a very precarious state due to increasing occurrence of drug resistance.

Chitin and Chitosan Preparation from Marine Sources. Structure, Properties and Applications
Islem Younes,Marguerite Rinaudo +1 more
TL;DR: Several selected pharmaceutical and biomedical applications are presented, in which chitin and chitosan are recognized as new biomaterials taking advantage of their biocompatibility and biodegradability.
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.
