Chitosan is a product of the deacetylation of chitin, which is widely found in nature. Chitosan
is insoluble in water and most organic solvents, which seriously limits both its application …

Chitosan is the second abundant biopolymer present on earth after cellulose. Chitosan is
extracted from the shells of shrimp and other crustaceans. Several methods were reported …

Chitosan is the deacetylated form of chitin, a biopolymer that can be obtained from various
waste streams and shows antimicrobial activity against different fungi, gram positive and …

The development of adsorbents with outstanding adsorption capacities, wide versatility, and
excellent recyclability for the removal of organic dyes remains a challenge. In this study, a …

The need of natural antimicrobials is paramount to avoid harmful synthetic chemicals. The
study aimed to determine the antifungal activity of natural compound chitosan and its …

The natural polymer chitosan is the second most abundant biopolymer on earth after chitin
and has been extensively explored for preparation of versatile drug delivery systems. The …

Recently, much attention has been paid to chitosan as a potential polysaccharide resource.
Although several efforts have been reported to prepare functional derivatives of chitosan by …

Chitin was extracted from Polybius henslowii, a swimming crab, captured in large quantities
throughout the Portuguese coast by purse seine vessels as bycatch. After standard chitin …

Chitosan, which is derived from a deacetylation reaction of chitin, has attractive antimicrobial
activity. However, chitosan applications as a biocide are only effective in acidic medium due …

In this study, novel green in situ quaternary-ammonium-functionalized magnetic chitosan
microspheres (IQMCM) were synthesised. The resulting adsorbent was characterised by …
