A New Adsorbent From Chitosan And Anionic Silica Was Readyed By Ionic Interaction Pursued By Sol-Gel Process
The incured nanocomposite was qualifyed by different techniques: FTIR, XRD, SEM/EDX, TGA, and TEM. The solvents pointed that silica precursor interacts with chitosan and sedimentations as regular spherical nanoparticles. The methylene blue (MB) adsorption by chitosan/silica nanocomposite accomplished the adsorption equilibrium within 60 min. The adsorption method is fitted to the pseudo-second-order kinetic model and the Langmuir adsorption model with a maximum adsorption capacity of 847 mg/g at slight alkaline solution. Chitosan/silica composite exposed high regeneration capability and recovery of MB up to five rhythms without the loss of the adsorption efficiency. The current study showed that as-prepared chitosan/silica nanocomposite is an appropriate material for the adsorption of organic pollutants from wastewater. Factor XIII Cross-Linked Adhesive Chitosan Hydrogels.Biomedical adhesives have been ascertained to be an attractive alternative to suturing in several contexts to date most of the clinically approved preparations are established on synthetic and highly reactive toxic chemicals. In this work, we trained to combine for the first time the bioactive attributes of the cationic polysaccharide chitosan and its intrinsic electrostatic binding to negatively bucked tissues with the biocompatible and clinically compliant enzymatic cross-linking scheme of fibrin glue. This synergistic activity led to the generation of a transglutaminase Factor XIII cross-linkable chitosan formulation with fast gelation kinetics, tunable mechanical properties, antibacterial activity, and strong adhesion to cartilage.Influences of chitosan coatings on functional compounds of sweet cerises.In this study, sweet cerises were surfaced with four chitosans (1%) [two of them raised from shrimp waste from Marmara Sea in Turkey (Chitosan-1, Chitosan-2) and two of them commercially maked (Commercial-1 and Commercial-2)] which have different deacetylation degree, and molecular weight (Chitosan-1, deacetylation degree: 78%, molecular weight: 182 kDa; Chitosan-2, deacetylation degree: 84%, molecular weight: 127 kDa; Commercial-1, deacetylation degree: 81%, molecular weight: 273 kDa; Commercial-2, deacetylation degree: 75%, molecular weight: 407 kDa) and stored at 4 °C for 25 days, and 20 °C for 15 days. varietys in the total phenolic content, antioxidant capacity, total anthocyanin content, ascorbic acid, total pectin content, firmness, and colour values were valued. The results revealed that Chitosan-1 had the highest firmness value; Chitosan-2 exhibited the highest total anthocyanin and total phenolic content and Commercial-1 showed the highest antioxidant capacity and ascorbic acid content at 4 °C. Furthermore, it was received that Chitosan-1 attested the highest total phenolic content; Chitosan-2 exhibited the highest total anthocyanin; Commercial-1 had the highest firmness value and C-2 exhibited the highest ascorbic acid content at 20 °C. In conclusion, each tested chitosan coverings have different results on different quality propertys at different storage temperatures.Antibacterial Chitosan Nanofiber Thin Films with Bacitracin Zinc Salt.Chitosan nanofiber has a highly uniform structure of 20-50 nm in diameter and establishs high dispersibility in water due to its submicron size and high surface-to-volume ratio. The stacked nanofibers film is useful for breathability because it has a gap with a size of several tens of nm or more the chemical bonds between the nanofibers cannot be interrupted during use. In this study, the thin cinemas were incured by filtration of chitosan nanofibers and 3-glycidoxypropyltrimethoxysilane (GPTMS) mixture. The addition of GPTMS transfered the wettability, mechanical property and stability in water of the thin cinemas. Bacitracin zinc salt (BZ) has been used for the localized dermatological medicaments and diluted in the cinemas. BZ interacted electrostatically with the thin flicks matrix and the release of BZ was ascertained by the amount of GPTMS. Selenoproteins expeled amount of BZ showed higher antibacterial consequences toward S. aureus. The film was also examined their toxicity by L929 fibroblasts. The release of less than 11 μg of BZ showed antibacterial results, but were not toxic for fibroblast cadres.
