Owing to its high biodegradability, and nontoxicity and antimicrobial properties, chitosan is
widely-used as an antimicrobial agent either alone or blended with other natural polymers …

Chitin is the second most important natural polymer in the world. The main sources exploited
are two marine crustaceans, shrimp and crabs. Our objective is to appraise the state of the …

An appropriate cell microenvironment is key to tissue engineering and regenerative
medicine. Revealing the factors that influence the cell microenvironment is a fundamental …

Chitin and chitosan are considerably versatile and promising biomaterials. The deacetylated
chitin derivative, chitosan is more useful and interesting bioactive polymer. Despite its …

The electrospinning PAN nanofiber membrane (P-CN) was hydrolysed to convert carboxylic
groups as reaction sites and covalently graft chitosan molecule. The chitosan derivatives …

Chitin is well characterized in terms of analytical chemistry, is purified from accompanying
compounds, and derivatized in a variety of fashions. Its biochemical significance when …

Thin films prepared via a layer-by-layer (LbL) assembly of renewable materials exhibit
exceptional oxygen barrier and flame-retardant properties. Positively charged chitosan (CH) …

Zwitterionic polymer of poly (sulfobetaine methacrylate)(PSBMA) was grafted from
polysulfone (PSf) membrane via surface-initiated atom transfer radical polymerization (SI …
