Applications of environmentally friendly and low-cost biomaterials for membrane preparation offer unparalleled advantages over traditional synthetic polymer membrane. Herein, a novel collagen/casein/chitosan composite material was designed to synthesize TFC membrane for acid recovery from acidic waste stream. A vacuum filtration method was used to precious adjust the thickness of the functional layer while glutaraldehyde was adopted as crosslinking agent to preserve surface charge property of anion-exchange membranes (AEM) at acidic conditions. The electrostatic interactions and hydrogen bonding of these biopolymers endowed the TFC membrane with enhanced stability. At optimized conditions with 0.15 mL collagen/casein/chitosan composites decoration, the TFC membrane with a functional layer thickness of around 628.4 nm exhibited an excellent acid permeance (U H + = 0.034 m h −1 ) and a high H + / Fe 2+ separation factor up to 33.8. This facile strategy provides a useful guideline for constructing highly efficient TFC membrane for acid recovery and broadens the application of biomaterials for membrane application at harsh environments.

Tumor recurrence and wound microbial infection after tumor excision are serious threats to patients. Thus, the strategy to supply a sufficient and sustained release of cancer drugs and simultaneously engineer antibacterial properties and satisfactory mechanical strength is highly desired for tumor postsurgical treatment. Herein, A novel double-sensitive composite hydrogel embedded with tetrasulfide-bridged mesoporous silica (4S-MSNs) is developed. The incorporation of 4S-MSNs into oxidized dextran/chitosan hydrogel network, not only enhances the mechanical properties of hydrogels, but also can increase the specificity of drug with dual pH/redox sensitivity, thereby allowing more efficient and safer therapy. Besides, 4S-MSNs hydrogel preserves the favorable physicochemical properties of polysaccharide hydrogel, such as high hydrophilicity, satisfactory antibacterial activity, and excellent biocompatibility. Thus, the prepared 4S-MSNs hydrogel can be served as an efficient strategy for postsurgical bacterial infection and inhibition of tumor recurrence.

Curcumin (Cur) is a natural pigment with excellent biological activity. The poor stability and insolubility of Cur in water severely limit its application. Therefore, to overcome these dilemmas which are big hindrances in their application, a novel derivative (COCS-Cur) was prepared by the esterification reaction of carboxylated chitosan (COCS) and Cur. The structure and properties of conjugate were determined through a series of characterizations. The derivatives had excellent solubility as well as stability. In addition, antioxidant and photodynamic antibacterial experiments proved that COCS-Cur had the excellent free radical scavenging ability and photodynamic antibacterial activity . The derivatives presented a better antibacterial effect on Staphylococcus aureus ( S. aureus ) than Escherichia coli ( E. coli ). Noteworthy, the COCS-Cur derivatives showed no obvious toxicity which makes them a stronger contender and potential antimicrobial agent or functional nutrient for application in the food industry.

Due to the large specific surface area and rich pore structure, chitosan nanofiber membrane has many advantages over conventional gel-like or film-like products. However, the poor stability in acidic solutions and relatively weak antibacterial activity against Gram-negative bacteria severely restrict its use in many industries. Here, we present a chitosan-urushiol composite nanofiber membrane prepared by electrospinning. Chemical and morphology characterization revealed that the formation of chitosan-urushiol composite involved the Schiff base reaction between catechol and amine groups and the self-polymerization of urushiol. The unique crosslinked structure and multiple antibacterial mechanisms endowed the chitosan-urushiol membrane with outstanding acid resistance and antibacterial performance. After immersion in HCl solution at pH 1, the membrane maintained its intact appearance and satisfactory mechanical strength. In addition to its good antibacterial performance against Gram-positive Staphylococcus aureus ( S. aureus ), the chitosan-urushiol membrane exhibited synergistic antibacterial activity against Gram-negative Escherichia coli ( E. coli ) that far exceeded that of neat chitosan membrane and urushiol. Moreover, cytotoxicity and hemolysis assays revealed that the composite membrane had good biocompatibility similar to that of neat chitosan. In short, this work provides a convenient, safe, and environmentally friendly method to simultaneously enhance the acid resistance and broad-spectrum antibacterial activity of chitosan nanofiber membranes.

Separating films with both high efficiency and large flux are desperately needed to meet the rising demand for the treatment of oily wastewater, while traditional oil/water separation papers with high separation efficiency usually suffered from low flux due to the unsuitable size of filtration pores. Herein, we report a bio-based porous, superhydrophobic , and antimicrobial hybrid cellulose paper with tunable porous structures for high flux oil/water separation. The size of pores in the hybrid paper can be tuned by both physical supports provided by the chitosan fibers and the chemical shielding supplied by the hydrophobic modification. The hybrid paper with increased porosity (20.73 μm; 35.15 %) and excellent antibacterial properties can efficiently separate a wide range of oil/water mixtures, solely by gravity, with outstanding flux (maximum of 23,692.69 L m −2 h −1 ), tiny oil interception, and high efficiency of over 99 %. This work provides new sights in the development of durable and low-cost functional papers for rapid and efficient oil/water separation.

The present work aimed to compare the physicochemical, rheological, and morphologic properties of chitosan extracted from cicada slough, silkworm chrysalis, mealworm, grasshopper and shrimp shells. The physicochemical properties including solubility, fat binding capacity, water binding capacity, ash, viscosity average molecular weight and moisture content of them were determined. The characterization results showed that insect chitosan was quite different from shrimp shell chitosan including thermal stability, rheological characteristics and surface morphology. Crystallinity index values of chitosan from cicada slough, silkworm chrysalis, mealworm, grasshopper and shrimp shells were observed to be 64.8%, 32.9%, 51.9%, 50.1% and 49.1%, respectively. The crystallinity indices of shrimp shell, mealworm and grasshopper chitosan were very close to each other. Flow behavior revealed that chitosan from four insects exhibited the lower viscosity than shrimp shell chitosan. According to dynamic oscillatory analysis, insect chitosan revealed lower modulus values than shrimp shell chitosan. Each of them had a novel structure and different morphologic properties. These results will contribute to increasing potential application of insect chitosan in food and pharmaceutical industries.

The removal of phosphate in water is crucial and effective for control of eutrophication, and adsorption is one of the most effective treatment processes. In this study, microporous lanthanum-chitosan magnetic spheres were successfully synthetized and used for the removal of phosphate in water. The characterization results show that the dispersion of lanthanum oxide is improved because of the porous properties of the magnetic spheres. Moreover, the contact area and active sites between lanthanum oxide and phosphate were increased due to the presence of many honeycomb channels inside the magnetic spheres. In addition, the maximum adsorption capacity of the Langmuir model was 27.78 mg P·g−1; and the adsorption kinetics were in good agreement with the pseudo-second-order kinetic equation and intra-particle diffusion model. From the results of thermodynamic analysis, the phosphate adsorption process of lanthanum-chitosan magnetic spheres was spontaneous and exothermic in nature. In conditional tests, the optimal ratio of lanthanum/chitosan was 1.0 mmol/g. The adsorption capacity of as-prepared materials increased with the augmentation of the dosage of the adsorbent and the decline of pH value. The co-existing anions, Cl−and NO3−had little effect on adsorption capacity to phosphate, while CO32−exhibited an obviously negative influence on the adsorption capacity of this adsorbent. In general, owing to their unique hierarchical porous structures, high-adsorption capacity and low cost, lanthanum-chitosan magnetic spheres are potentially applicable in eutrophic water treatment.Keywords:porous structure;lanthanum;La-chitosan magnetic spheres;adsorption capacity;phosphate;adsorption isotherm

Chitosan/reed biochar composite (CRBC) was synthesized and employed as an adsorbent to remove ofloxacin (OFL) from aqueous solution. The physical and chemical properties of CRBC were characterized by SEM, FTIR, and BET surface area. The initial OFL concentration, solution pH, and ion strength affecting the adsorption process were investigated. Batch adsorption experiments revealed that OFL adsorption amounts on CRBC increased with the increasing of initial OFL concentration. Furthermore, the solution pH and ion strength had significant effects on OFL adsorption. The adsorption was enhanced in neutral pH condition and was inhibited by the presence of NaCl. The adsorption kinetics was fitted by the pseudo-second-order model with higher correlation coefficients. The adsorption isotherms were better described by the Langmuir model, indicating monolayer adsorption process. The aim of current work was to develop a reed biochar and chitosan composite and explore the adsorption behavior of OFL.

As a natural preservative, cinnamaldehyde (CA) has a bright application prospect. However, CA is sensitive to light and can be easily oxidized. What's more, its water solubility is poor. These properties greatly limit its application. In this study, CA/sodium alginate (SA)/chitosan (CS) nanoparticles (CA/SA/CS NPs) were prepared by using SA and CS as wall materials, and CA as core material. The single factor experiment showed that the optimal CA/SA/CS NPs can be obtained when the mass ratio of SA to CS was 5.5/1, SA to CaCl 2 was 5/1, SA to CA was 1/2, and the pH of CS solution was 5.0. Under this condition, the average size of the prepared nanoparticles was 455.2 nm, polymer dispersity index (PDI) value was 0.189, zeta potential was −40.8 mV, and the encapsulation efficiency was 72.92%. The scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and atomic force microscopy (AFM) images confirmed the formation of nanoparticles, which were spherical or ellipsoidal in shape. The fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR) and multifunctional polycrystalline X-ray diffraction (XRD) spectra indicated that CA was encapsulated in the nanoparticles. Furthermore, in vitro release experiments showed that CA/SA/CS NPs had the function of sustained release. In summary, SA/CS NPs can be used as a promising carrier for CA.

In this study, we fabricated native tissue mimicking a bilayered small-diameter vascular graft based on PEGylated chitosan (PEG–CS) and poly(l-lactic acid-co-ε-caprolactone) (PLCL). PEG–CS possesses good hemocompatibility, and as the inner layer of a vascular graft, it is more likely to swell and deform to debris, causing a blood clot, so the PLCL was added to stabilize it. In order to optimize the performance of the inner layer, PEG–CS blends with different ratios of PLCL (P/C:PLCL) casting films were fabricated, and endothelial cell compatibility and hemocompatibility were tested. The outer layer of the graft was fabricated via electrospinning with PLCL blends with different ratios of water-soluble polyethylene glycol. After water treatment, we tested smooth muscle cell penetration. Designing a two-layer vascular graft structure with an inner layer of P/C:PLCL = 1:6 and an outer layer being composed of a PLCL blend with 12% polyethylene glycol offers very good hemocompatibility and fast cell growth and also reserves well mechanical properties with good cell infiltration. Therefore, this kind of graft has a high potential to be used as an artificial blood vessel.

A kind of water-soluble chitosan, chitosan oligosaccharide, was used to synthesize a crosslinking hydrogel using a simple method, and the outstanding adsorption property of the hydrogel for Cr(VI) was investigated. The three-dimensional structure of the synthetic material was analyzed by means of 13 C solid state nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR), Fourier transform infrared (FT-IR), X-ray diffraction (XRD) and Scanning Electron Microscope (SEM) measurements. The hydrogel also exhibited high thermal stability and mechanical strength. Its adsorption capacity for Cr(VI) reached 148.1 ± 2.4 mg/g with a fast adsorption rate. Pseudo-second-order kinetic model and Langmuir isotherm well described the adsorption process. Notably, the hydrogel still showed 100% removal efficiency for Cr(VI) at low concentration (0.02–1 mg/L) in the detectable range. The simple preparation process, high mechanical strength and excellent adsorption property indicate that the hydrogel has great potential for the removal of Cr(VI) ions from water and wastewater.
