Plastics have become an integral part of human life. Single-use plastics (SUPs) are
disposable plastics designed to be used once then promptly discarded or recycled. This …

This review presents an overview of methods for preparing chitosan-derived porous
materials and discusses their potential applications. This family of materials has garnered …

Deep eutectic solvents (DES) as plasticizers of chitosan film show great potential for food
packaging. This paper introduced some novel antioxidant and antibacterial films based on …

The incorporation of natural extracts of deep eutectic solvent (DES) into polysaccharide
