Chitosan-stabilized nano zero-valent iron (CTS-nZVI) prepared by the liquid-phase reduction method has been shown to achieve a good dispersion effect. However, there has been little analysis on the mechanism affecting its stability and transport in saturated porous media. In this paper, settling experiments were conducted to study the stabilization of CTS-nZVI. The transport of CTS-nZVI in saturated porous media at different influencing factors was studied by sand column experiments. The stability mechanism of CTS-nZVI was analyzed from the point of view of colloidal stability by settling experiments and a zeta potential test. The theoretical model of colloidal filtration was applied for the calculation of transport coefficients on the basis of the column experiments data. Considering attachment–detachment effects, a particle transport model was built using HYDRUS-1D software to analyze the transport and spatial distribution of CTS-nZVI in a sand column.Keywords:chitosan;nZVI;stability;transport;colloidal filtration theory;numerical simulation

A superhydrophobic fluorinated silica functionalized chitosan (F-CS) aerogel is constructed and fabricated by a simple and sustainable method in this study in order to achieve highly efficient gravity-driven oil/water separation performance. The fluorinated silica functionalization invests the pristine hydrophilic chitosan (CS) aerogel with promising superhydrophobicity with a water contact angle of 151.9°. This novel F-CS aerogel possesses three-dimensional structure with high porosity as well as good chemical stability and mechanical compression property. Moreover, it also shows striking self-cleaning performance and great oil adsorption capacity. Most importantly, the as-prepared aerogels exhibits fast and efficient separation of oil/water mixture by the gravity driven process with high separation efficiency. These great performances render the prepared F-CS aerogel a good candidate for oil/water separation in practical industrial application.Keywords:superhydrophobicity;fluorinated silica;chitosan;oil adsorption;oil/water separation

A novel and eco-friendly chitosan derivative was synthesized as green corrosion inhibitors on C3003 aluminum alloy in 3.5 wt.% NaCl solution. In this paper, CP was prepared by Schiff Base reaction with chitosan and 4-pyridinecarboxaldehyde. Then, TiO 2 was dispersed in CP to prepare CPT nanocomposite. The corrosion inhibition effect of CPT on C3003 aluminum alloy at different concentrations were studied with electrochemical techniques and surface analysis. The results showed that the maximum inhibition efficiency of CPT nanocomposite reaches to 94.5 % at 200 ppm after the immersed in 3.5 wt.% NaCl solution for 72 h. Meanwhile, the contact angle increases to 120° due to the formation of hydrophobic substances. The strategy of organic/inorganic hybrid can provide the inspiration for the development of chitosan corrosion inhibitor with low concentration and high efficiency.

Two-dimensional (2D) materials provides large surface area for H 2 O molecules adsorption and interaction, which has been utilized in humidity sensing and noninvasive monitoring of physiological events such as respiration. However, disadvantages including slow response or modest response hinder the accurate tracking of human breath. Hence, MXene , the new member of 2D material family with excellent hydrophilicity and tunable conductivity, has drawn much attention. In this work, the enhanced response of Ti 3 C 2 T x MXene to H 2 O molecules was achieved by onion-inspired assembling of Ti 3 C 2 T x MXene and chitosan-quercetin hybrid layer-by-layer. The chitosan-quercetin modified multilayers suppress the degradation of MXene in environment, exhibiting superior response (317 % at 90 % RH), ultrafast response (0.75 s), and long-term stability (more than 15 days). Integrated with a wireless flexible detecting tag, the multilayers realized wearable human respiration monitoring with robust, accurate tracking capacity, offering a facile and feasible method for versatile physiological monitoring based on humidity sensing.

Two imidazolium chloride ionic liquids (ILs) were mixed with urea for chitosan dissolution. Ionic liquids were [Amim]Cl and [Etmim]Cl (1-allyl-3-methyl-imidazolium chloride and 3-methyl-1-(ethylacetyl)imidazolium chloride, respectively). Physicochemical properties of neat ILs and IL-Urea solutions (including density, viscosity, conductivity, β value, π* value, and thermogravimetric analysis), were thoroughly investigated. Dissolution performance of chitosan in IL-Urea solutions was determined. Chitobiose (KET) as model chitosan structure, density functional theory (DFT) calculations were used to discuss the interactions between IL, urea, and chitobiose, and to clarify the different physicochemical properties of ILs, IL-Urea solutions. Also DFT simulation results were used for elucidating the influence of different cationic substituents and urea addition for chitosan dissolution. [Etmim]Cl showed higher density, viscosity, conductivity, β, and π* value than those of [Amim]Cl. These results revealed strong hydrogen bonds among [Etmim]Cl owing to the carboxylic acid ester group than allyl group of [Amim]Cl. Densities, viscosities, and π* values of IL-Urea solutions increased with increasing urea content. Conductivities and β values of IL-Urea solutions decreased with the increase of urea content at same temperature. The thermal stability of [Amim]Cl-Urea mixture increased when urea content increased from 10% to 30%, which was different from [Bmim]Cl-Urea melt. The thermal stability of [Etmim]Cl-Urea mixture was different to that of [Amim]Cl-Urea mixture. Urea was accommodated in ILs, forming hydrogen bonds with both the anion and cation in ILs, which changed the molecular interactions of ILs. The influence of different substituents in imidazolium ILs and urea addition on chitosan dissolution were analyzed using experimental determination and DFT calculations. Cationic substituents of imidazolium ILs play an extraordinary role in hydrogen bonds formation with chitobiose, so to strengthen chitosan dissolution. The information obtained would provide a guide for designing novel IL solvent systems for chitosan dissolution.

Chitosan (CS) is a natural polymer with applications in wound restorations and coatings for artificial implants. However, the lack of antimicrobial activity restricts its further application. Thus, the purpose of this study is to prepare CS/AuNPs film by adding gold nanoparticles (AuNPs) to modify chitosan. Through transmission electron microscopy, we found that the presence of CS can effectively prevent the agglomeration of nanoparticles. Furthermore, through the CCK experiment, we found that AuNPs at a certain concentration can improve the adhesion and proliferation of cells, which has also been proved in animal experiments, including gross appearance, histological observations, and immunofluorescence staining. Such findings support the feasibility of using the film as a promising candidate for tissue engineering of skin in a near future.

A novel ethylenediaminetetraacetic acid (EDTA)-functionalized magnetic chitosan oligosaccharide and carboxymethyl cellulose (Fe 3 O 4 @CMCCOS-EDTA) nanocomposite adsorbent was successfully fabricated for Pb(II) adsorption. The adsorbent was characterized by Fourier transform infrared, and X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy was used to confirm successful EDTA modification and Pb(II) adsorption. Scanning electron microscopy, transmission electron microscopy , vibrating sample magnetometer, and thermogravimetric analysis were used to study the morphology and properties of magnetic particles. EDTA modification considerably improved the capacity of the adsorbent. The batch adsorption experiment results indicated that the pseudo-second-order (PSO) model and the Langmuir isotherm model reliably described the adsorption behavior. The maximum adsorption capacity ( q m ) for monolayer chemical adsorption was calculated to be 432.34 mg/g at the pH of 5 and temperature of 308 K. Notably, Fe 3 O 4 @CMCCOS-EDTA exhibited a high Pb(II) removal rate of ~100% using an initial metal ion solution of 100 mg/L and 200 mg/L.

With the progressive research of fabrication methodologies of biomaterials, hierarchically porous structures and bioactive compositions have been identified to promote bone repair and regeneration. In this study, we firstly fabricated lanthanum-doped bioglasses/chitosan (La-BGs/CS) composite scaffolds for novel bone tissue engineering materials. The La-BG microspheres in the scaffolds possessed hierarchically porous structures combining hollow cores and mesoporous shells. The effects of La-BGs/CS scaffolds on osteogenesis and angiogenesis were evaluated both in vitro and in vivo . The as-doped lanthanum oxide in the scaffolds remarkably promoted osteogenic differentiation of bone marrow-derived mesenchymal stem cells via activating ERK signaling pathway, and stimulated migration and tube formation of human umbilical vein endothelial cells. As compared with the BGs/CS scaffolds, the La dopants in the La-BGs/CS scaffolds contributed to higher expression levels of both osteogenic and angiogenic-related genes. Moreover, the mesopores and macropores within the La-BGs/CS scaffolds enhanced the osteoconductivity and stimulated bone regeneration in cranial defect model of rats. The La-BGs/CS scaffolds could also promote vascularization in vivo as demonstrated by Microfil perfusion, which further augmented osseous regeneration. Therefore, the La-BGs/CS scaffolds provide an admirable application and novel platform for bone tissue engineering.

An electrochemical sensing platform based on TiO 2 –Ti 3 C 2 T X nanohybrid, hexadecyl trimethyl ammonium bromide (CTAB) and chitosan (CS) modified glassy carbon electrode (GCE) has been developed for the detection of nitrite. The TiO 2 –Ti 3 C 2 T X nanohybrid was synthesized by a two-step calcination process. The nanohybrid and its preparation process were characterized by scanning electron microscopy, X-ray diffraction and X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy. Electrochemical methods were used to characterize and investigate the electrochemical behavior and nitrite response of TiO 2 –Ti 3 C 2 T X /CTAB/CS/GCE. Under optimized conditions, the prepared TiO 2 –Ti 3 C 2 T X /CTAB/CS/GCE electrode displayed two linear ranges from 0.003 to 0.25 mM and 0.25 to 1.25 mM with a detection limit of 0.85 μM. Furthermore, the practical applicability of the electrochemical sensor was validated by the detection of nitrite in water and milk samples with good recovery.

This study aimed to develop an active edible film based on carboxymethyl chitosan (CMCS) and pullulan (Pul) incorporated with galangal essential oil (GEO) by the casting method. And their physical properties, structural and preservation effect on mangoes were characterized. The CMCS/Pul ratio was determined to be 2.5:2.5 after the optimization of physical properties, mechanical properties and barrier properties of the blend film. The results of FT-IR and XRD showed that hydroxyl groups of Pul interacted with the carboxyl groups of CMCS and the blend films had good compatibility. Good thermal stability of CMCS/Pul-GEO films was further proven by TGA curves. The CMCS/Pul-8 %GEO film showed effective preservations on mango fruits during 15 days of storage at 25 ± 1 °C, based on the characterization by fruits weight loss, firmness, titratable acidity, soluble solids. Consequently, CMCS/Pul-GEO blend films may be a promising eco-friendly packaging material for the industrial application of fruit preservation.

Superior mechanical properties, high adsorption capacity, and excellent regeneration property are crucial design criterions to develop a new-type aerogel for adsorptive applications towards heavy metal removal from water. Herein, chitosan and melamine not only introduced abundant functional groups to increase adsorbing sites for lead ions, but also reinforced the three-dimensional network skeleton structure of absorbents to improve the service life in adsorption applications. As-fabricated alginate/melamine/chitosan aerogel can extract Pb (II) from aqueous solution efficiently, i.e. , the optimum adsorption quantity of 1331.6 mg/g at pH 5.5, which exhibited excellent and selective adsorption capacity for Pb (II) against the competition of coexisting divalent metal ions. More importantly, alginate/melamine/chitosan aerogel could be regenerated using dilute acidic solution and recovered well after eight adsorption-desorption cycles. This work might offer a new idea for design and preparation of biomass-based aerogel sorbents with promising prospect in the remediation of Pb (II)-contaminated wastewater.

Chitosan (CS) based nanofibrous membranes were fabricated via hybrid electrospinning of chitosan (CS) and poly(ε-caprolactone) (PCL) or poly(ε-caprolactone)-block-poly(ethylene glycol) (PCL-b-PEG) copolymers for the adsorption of dyes from aqueous solution. The amphiphilic block polymers were obtained by polymerization of PCL and different molecular weights of PEG. It was observed that the secondary fiber and core–shell structure could be controlled by PEG segments. The results of XPS showed that as the molecular weight of the PEG segments increased, the content of CS on the fiber surface increased. The parameters of adsorption time, initial concentration and pH values on the adsorption capacity were studied. The adsorption experiments showed that the adsorption process toward Congo red (CR) on CS-based membranes fitted well with the pseudo-second-order model and Langmuir isotherm model. The CS-based membranes with PEG molecular weight of 5 kDa possessed good reusability and the maximum adsorption capacity calculated from the Langmuir model was 291.55 mg g−1. The existence of intermolecular hydrogen bonds between CS and PCL-b-PEG copolymer reduced the loss of CS. Therefore, CS-based membranes would be promising materials for water remediation.
