Natural rubber (NR) latex gloves serve as a very important barrier protection for health care workers. It is of great significance to study the barrier and antibacterial properties of NR latex products. Herein, a small amount of graphene oxide (GO) with in situ grown silver (Ag) nanoparticles was self-assembled in the NR latex by carboxymethyl chitosan (CMCS) as a cross-linking agent to form a novel NR/GO-Ag-CMCS composite with three-dimensional filler networks. The filler networks in the NR/GO-Ag-CMCS composite were formed by a strong interfacial interaction between NR macromolecules and GO-Ag-CMCS hybrids. The tensile strength and tear strength of NR/GO-Ag-CMCS composite were higher than those of pure NR film. With the increase of GO content, the filler network of NR/GO-Ag-CMCS film tended to be more complete and its barrier was stronger. Moreover, the NR/GO-Ag-CMCS composite showed excellent antibacterial performance against Escherichia coli (E. coli) and Staphylococcus aureus (S. aureus). The minimal inhibitory concentration values of GO-Ag-CMCS hybrid to E. coli and S. aureus were 8 and 16 μg/mL, respectively. For the NR/GO-Ag-CMCS composite with 0.1 phr GO, the diameters of its inhibition zone were 15.6 mm for E. coli and 13.6 mm for S. aureus.

Hydrogel materials are gradually increasing research in biological aspects due to their unique properties. In order to prepare hydrogels with the potential to be used in clinical wound therapy, the authors prepared a bifunctional hydrogel with antibacterial and self-healing properties. The hydrogel was composed of borax cross-linked polyvinyl alcohol (PVA) and carboxymethyl chitosan (CMCS), which realizes self-healing between polymers through hydrogen bonds and borate ester bonds. The double cross-linking of hydrogen bonds and borate ester bonds also endows the hydrogel with better mechanical properties (toughness and tensile stress can reach 22.30 MJ/m 3 and 70.35 KPa, respectively). On this basis, adding highly stable silver nanoparticles (AgNPs) to the hydrogel can effectively inhibit the growth of E. coli and S. aureus . This idea provides the possibility for the application of hydrogels in the process of biological wound healing.

Recently, owing to the wide applications in electronic skin and human activity monitoring, flexible hydrogel strain sensors have attracted great attention. And the better preparation with more efficient is always common aspiration. In this work, acrylamide (AM) was in situ polymerized in chitosan (CS) matrix to prepare hydrogels (PAM@CS). Inspired by the adhesion of natural mussels, plant polyphenol tannic acid (TA) was introduced into the system, Fe 3+ was also introduced as redox agent to perform an ultrafast polymerization, and the composite hydrogel PAM@CS/TA-Fe can be prepared at 60 °C within 1 min. The hydrogels are ion conductive and show good sensing performance in detecting major and subtle body motions. Benefiting from the multiple dynamic noncovalent bonds, the PAM@CS/TA-Fe hydrogels also show excellent adhesion performance and good self-healing property, which would expand their application range in wearable and flexible electronic equipment.

A multifunctional microspheric soil conditioner based on chitosan-grafted poly(acrylamide-co-acrylic acid)/biochar [CS-g-P(AM-co-AA)/BC] was prepared. First, the P(AM-co-AA) was synthesized and successfully grafted onto CS, and the three-dimensional network structure of microspheres was formed with N,N-methylenebis(acrylamide) as the cross-linking agent according to the inverse suspension polymerization method. Meanwhile, BC and urea were encapsulated into the body of microspheres during the polymerization. The structure of the microspheres was analyzed by Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy, polarized optical microscopy, and scanning electron microscopy, and the mechanism of adsorption of Cu2+ on the microspheres was investigated by X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy. Furthermore, the experimental results demonstrated the excellent water absorption and retention capabilities of microspheres, and the release rate of urea was dramatically reduced. Importantly, the introduction of BC significantly enhanced the adsorption performance of the microspheres with respect to heavy metal ions. Consequently, the multifunctional soil conditioner held promise for use in soil improvement and agricultural production.

The world population is severely affected by water scarcity, and it is an alarming issue that needs to be addressed urgently. Seawater desalination by solar-driven evaporation is a promising technique to produce clean water. However, it is energy intensive and directs to a low water yield under natural sunlight. Therefore, the developments of new photothermal materials can reduce required energy for desired evaporation rates for efficient freshwater yield. Indeed, chitosan and polypyrrole-based polymers are natural cationic copolymers, and their nanocomposites present well deal of interest for hydrogel structures due to their hydratable skeletons, and solar-absorbing nature. Here, we report in situ polymerized Fe 2 O 3 @PPy/chitosan hydrogels as lightweight evaporation structures for solar-powered evaporation under brine solutions (3.5 wt%). The polymeric network of Fe 2 O 3 @PPy/chitosan hydrogels builds in cross-linked macroporous water channels, self-floating, and a wide range of omnidirectional solar absorption (96%). The state-of-the-art evaporation experiments demonstrate an efficient evaporation rate of water (1.80 kg m –2 h –1 ) and enhanced solar-to-vapor conversion efficiency (91%) as compared to other carbon-based evaporation structures, excluding heat losses under 1 kW m –2 (one sun). Of note, the ultra-black hydrogel surface stored enough thermal energy (39.6°C) under one sun solar irradiance due to the cationic polymeric network of Fe 2 O 3 @PPy/chitosan. A single-step process for a freshwater supply that has been purified from various contaminants shows the potential of this device for real-world applications.

Improving the flame-retardant efficiency while maintaining the good properties of epoxy resin has become increasing important for industry applications. In this work, a fast char-forming flame retardant (nitro-containing chitosan-derivate, named CSN) derived from a one-pot reaction between chitosan and p-nitrobenzaldehyde was synthesized. When the total addition amount of CSN and 9,10-dihydro-9-oxa-10-phospha-phenanthrene-10-oxide (DOPO) in epoxy resin (EP) is only 5wt%, the cured EP passed the UL-94 V-0 rating and the limit oxygen index (LOI) reached to 34.0%. The total heat release (THR) and total smoke production (TSP) of the modified EP decreased by 23.5% and 77.2%, correspondingly, and the char-forming ability was significantly improved when compared with pure EP. Meanwhile, the CSN and DOPO modified EP maintained comparable tensile strength, flexural strength and transparency with pure EP, which is closely related to the abundant hydroxyl and amine groups as well as rigid structure in CSN and DOPO. Considering that the facile preparation method and small addition amount of the flame retardant, the present work provides a convenient solution for the preparation of modified epoxy resins with good flame retardancy, heat stability, transparency and comparable mechanical properties with pure EP, which is expected to be widely used in industries.

Fluorescent chitosan-based hydrogel for the selective detection and adsorption of Hg 2+ /Hg + in aqueous environment was prepared through three-step synthesis strategy. NO 2 -Boron-dipyrrolemethene (BODIPY) was prepared firstly, and then the -NO 2 group was reduced to -NH 2 group. Finally, the NH 2 -BODIPY was introduced to chitosan by Schiff base formation reaction through bi-aldehyde. Eventually, fluorescent chitosan hydrogel was obtained. The as-prepared fluorescent hydrogel probe could detect Hg 2+ /Hg + through PET mechanism with the detection limit of 0.3 μM. The recognition site which combines Hg 2+ /Hg + is C N, it is just formed in the reaction with chitosan and the amino group on BODIPY. Adsorption capacity of the fluorescent hydrogel is 121 mg·g −1 , which is almost seven times of the original chitosan. The isotherm and kinetics of Hg 2+ /Hg + removal follows Langmuir isotherm and pseudo-second order kinetics , respectively. Besides, a series of fluorescent hydrogels were prepared to compare the elasticity, hydropHilicity , fluorescence intensity and adsorption capacity.

The development of new antimicrobial agents is important to combat infections caused by pathogenic bacteria. Herein, Hydroxypropyl chitosan (HPCS), a hydrophilic modified product of chitosan (CS), was employed as a carrier of the photosensitizer chlorin e6 (Ce6) through an amide bond to obtain the products (HPCS-Ce6 conjugates) with a degree of substitution (DS) ranging from 2.95% to 5.25%. The UV–vis absorption spectra and 1 H NMR spectra confirmed the successful synthesis of the products. The products have a better and more stable reactive oxygen species (ROS) generation capacity and higher bacterial affinity than Ce6. At a very low dose (1.8 μg/mL), the highest DS product (HPCS-Ce6-3) can effectively kill Staphylococcus aureus ( S. aureus ) under 660 nm irradiation. In addition, the HPCS-Ce6 conjugates showed high biocompatibility in the CCK-8 test. The HPCS-Ce6 conjugates could be a photodynamic antibacterial agent with good water solubility, high biocompatibility, and antibacterial activity .

A chitosan-based flame retardant with a caged structure, chitosan maleic acid mono (1-thio-phosa-4-hydroxymethyl-2,6,7-trioxa-bicyclic [2.2.2] octan-4-methylene) ester salt (CS-MA-SPEPA), was synthesized and characterized. Cone calorimeter (CC) results indicated that the introduction of CS-MA-SPEPA into an unsaturated polyester resin (UPR) matrix could effectively reduce the HRR, TRR, and SPR. More importantly, the incorporation of CS-MA-SPEPA suppressed the release of toxic gases (CO) from the UPR matrix. The char residues results implied that the combination of CS-MA-SPEPA into UPR increased the degree of graphitization of the matrix and made char residues intumescent and tight, which could efficiently block the exchange of oxygen and heat.

The study aim reports a new umbilical cord wound repair material based on modified chitosan-based nanosilver (CS-HDH/Ag NPs). The repair of umbilical cord wound has always been the focus of neonatal departments. The study method chitosan, which is famous for its “biological glue,” is used as a modifier to compound silver nanoparticles with strong coordination and adsorption capacity of chitosan. It is worth noting that CS-HDH/Ag NPs has a significant inhibitory effect on common bacterial infection and reduces the incidence of umbilical cord wound inflammation. The study problem wound bleeding and stump shedding and other factors make the periumbilical cord vulnerable to bacterial infection. For study results, the porous and lamellar structure endows the repair material with breathable properties and excellent antiadhesion, which greatly reduces the number of dressing changes and effectively protects the skin of newborns. CS-HDH/Ag NPs provides a new model for efficient neonatal health management.

The morbidity of a diverse array of esophageal diseases has been increasing in recent years, and postoperative bacterial infection is a common potential risk. Current research on artificial esophageal stents is lacking and less than satisfactory. Artificial materials with excellent mechanical, antimicrobial, and cytocompatible properties at the same time still have great potential. In this study, chitosan (CS) and collagen (COL) were deposited on nylon 6 (N6)/silk fibroin (SF) composite nanofibers using layer-by-layer self-assembly (LBL). The obtained nanofibrous mats were characterized, and the results indicated that the surface morphology and hydrophilicity of the composite nanofibrous mats were obviously improved by the deposition of CS and COL. The mechanical properties of the composite nanofibrous mats were also improved after LBL modification. In addition, the LBL-structured nanofibrous mats possessed excellent antibacterial activity , reaching more than 90% inhibition of gram-positive and negative bacteria. The results of cell experiments indicated that the nanofibrous mats modified by CS and COL had excellent biocompatibility for promoting human esophageal epithelial cell adhesion and proliferation. In vivo animal experiments showed that the LBL-structured nanofibrous mats were beneficial to the healing of esophageal defects compared with the control group. In summary, LBL-structured nanofibrous mats are very promising materials for esophageal replacement to reduce the incidence of postoperative complications.

A simple polyacrylamide modification method was developed to improve the adsorption capacity and anti-interference of kaolin, which enhanced the adsorption performance of sodium alginate/carboxymethyl chitosan composite hydrogel. Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy, Scanning electron microscopy and energy dispersive X-ray spectroscopy, and X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy were used to determine the composition and adsorption mechanism of the adsorbent. In addition, the adsorption effect of the adsorbent on Cu 2+ was measured. The results showed that the adsorption rate conformed to the pseudo-second-order kinetic model and the Langmuir isotherm model, and the maximum adsorption capacity of the adsorbent was 5.5157 mg/g. In addition, adding modified kaolin reduced the interference of certain coexisting ions and the influence of pH. After five reuse cycles, its adsorption capacity was more than 82%. Therefore, this study provides a theoretical basis for improving the adsorbent of biomass-based materials.
