In recent times, research interest into the development of biodegradable, cost-effective and
environmental friendly adsorbents with favourable properties for adsorption of pollutants is a …

This article critically reviews the recent developments in the structural modifications of
chitosan and its nano-structured variants produced via different techniques and their …

Chitosan nanoparticles (CSNPs) based on their different derivatives were proposed as
antioxidant and antimicrobial additives for active bioplastic packaging. Chitosan was …

Chitosan's lack of solubility in physiological pH and high molecular weight (MW) limits its
use in hydrogel scaffolds. Conversion of chitosan to low MW chitooligosaccharides (COS) …

A simple bilayer system consisting of TiO2 and chitosan (CS) biopolymer has been
fabricated and immobilized onto a glass plate. The deposition properties of TiO2 powder …

The synergistic photocatalysis–adsorption processes by the immobilized TiO2/chitosan layer
by layer system on a glass support (TiO2/CS/glass) were investigated for the decolourisation …

Photocatalytically-oxidized cross-linked chitosan-glutaraldehyde (CS-GLA) was obtained via
irradiation of a simple assemblage of an immobilized layer-by-layer TiO 2/CS-GLA system …

This study demonstrated the combined use of sonolysis with the H2O2/ascorbic acid (Vc)
redox reaction to degrade chitosan (CS). The influence of operating parameters, such as the …

Chitooligosaccharides (COS) differ from chitosan by their molar mass: those of COS are
defined to be lower than 20 kg mol− 1. Their functionalization is widely described in the …

This work describes a gelation of chitosan solution with silver nitrate. Above the critical
concentration of chitosan (c*), continuous hydrogels of chitosan–silver can be formed. At …
