Titanium dioxide (TiO 2 ) colloid was synthesized by using tetrabutyl titanate . TiO 2 (KH-570) intermediate was prepared by etherification reaction of TiO 2 colloid and KH-570. The CS-GMA intermediate was prepared by ring-opening reaction of chitosan (CS) and glycidyl methacrylate (GMA). Finally, copolymerization two intermediates obtain a new adsorbent, TiO 2 (KH-570)-g-(CS-GMA). The results manifest that the maximum adsorption amounts of toluene and Pb(II) are 56.62 mg/g and 623.56 mg/g, respectively. The adsorption of TiO 2 (KH-570)-g-(CS-GMA) adsorbent for toluene and Pb(II) accord with the pseudo-second-order kinetics mechanism and Langmuir equation, indicate that the TiO 2 (KH-570)-g-(CS-GMA) adsorbent has better adsorption effect on toluene and Pb(II).

Objective: This article aims to design low molecular weight chitosan (LMWC)-based conjugates of Rhein (RH) by means of an amino acid linker (Alanine) for improved solubility and enhanced bioavailability.Significance: Rhein is a potential candidate for the therapy of kidney disease. However, the poor solubility, inadequate bioavailability, and lack of proper formulation restrict its clinical applicability. LMWC-drug conjugates offer the potential to improve the water-solubility of RH, increase its oral absorption, and thereby enhance its bioavailability.Methods: The conjugates were synthesized via a carbodiimide reaction and confirmed using UV-vis, FTIR, and 1H-NMR spectroscopy. The water-solubility and in vitro release properties were evaluated. Free RH and RH-LMWC conjugates were administered at an equivalent oral gavage dose of RH at 35 mg/kg for pharmacokinetic studies in Sprague Dawley rats.Results: The conjugates with RH content of 9.65% were successfully synthesized and featured a satisfactory water-solubility of 9.73 mg/mL, which exhibited a sustained release pattern over 72 h, and the enzymes present may promote the degradation of the conjugate to increase the release of Rhein. Oral administration of RH-LMWC conjugates to rats led to seven-folds and 3.1-folds increase in the T1/2 and AUC0–∞, respectively, as compared to RH suspension.Conclusion: The present work demonstrated that the RH-LMWC conjugates exhibited sustained release properties with outstanding oral bioavailability enhancements compared to administration of RH itself. Potentially, RH-LMWC conjugates may serve as a promising lead for developing a new platform for RH oral delivery.

A series of composite aerogels with different precursor mass ratios were prepared from graphene oxide (GO) and chitosan (CS) by conducting the crosslinking step after lyophilization, the method of which was recently found beneficial to enhance the adsorptive properties of aerogels . The composite aerogels were then employed for the adsorption of methyl orange (MO) and methylene blue (MB) from water, and the one prepared at GO:CS= 1:2 (w/w) was selected as the optimal compromising the adsorption and mechanical properties. The maximum adsorption amounts of MO and MB were calculated to be 543.4 and 110.9 mg/g at 25 °C. Especially, the effects of pH on adsorption of MO and MB in both single and binary systems were investigated in detail. The aerogel possessed pH-responsive feature for single dye adsorption, tending to adsorb MO at low pH while to adsorb MB at high pH. In the binary system, the pH-responsive feature remained and selective adsorption was observed at low initial dye concentration. In contrast, synergistic adsorption occurred instead at high initial concentration, and MB and MO could be efficiently removed simultaneously in the whole pH range of 3–11.

In this study, we explored a new method for preparing C 6 quaternary ammonium chitosan (CTS) derivatives. The C 2 NH 2 of CTS was first protected by benzaldehyde. The C 6 OH of CTS was then transformed into a sulfonyl ester, which was then reacted with NaN 3 through nucleophilic substitution to introduce the N 3 group at the CTS C 6 position. This intermediate was reacted in a click chemistry reaction with a terminal alkynyl quaternary ammonium salt; this was followed by the deprotection of C 2 NH 2 with acid to furnish the C 6 quaternary ammonium CTS derivative. The structures and properties of synthesized products in the reactions were characterized by Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy, NMR, X-ray diffraction, and thermogravimetric analysis, respectively. The effects of the reaction conditions on the degree of Schiff-base CTS quaternization were evaluated by elemental analysis. The largest inhibition zone test and the minimum inhibitory concentration test showed that compared with CTS, the prepared CTS derivative had significantly improved antibacterial activity toward Staphylococcus aureus and Escherichia coli . © 2013 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.

Inks composed of renewable resources are important for the environment protection. We report preparation of a new type of edible chitosan-based flexographic ink. The performance of three inks, containing three different molecular weight (MW) chitosan, was analyzed by the different experimental techniques. The Ink viscosity was investigated from the parameters shear rate, time, temperature, and flexographic printing simulation. The printing quality on coated paper was studied by the scratch resistance, contact angle, print fastness, chromatic aberration, and dot gain. Viscosity recovery rate reached 69% after 6 s, and the print fastness was up to 91%. The experimental Δ E is 0.97, the dot gain is 23%, and contact angle is 69° for the best ink. Experimental results indicate that the developed ink is suitable for the flexographic printing with good application prospects. © 2016 Wiley Periodicals, Inc. J. Appl. Polym. Sci. 2016 , 133 , 43997.

As a leading cause of vision impairment of the retina, macular edema (ME) has one of the highest clinical demands for treatment. Current treatment of ME relies heavily on invasive techniques resulting in complications and poor patient compliance. To enhance the efficiency of triamcinolone acetonide as eye drop to the posterior segment of the eye, we developed and characterized a novel formulation, namely, triamcinolone acetonide chitosan-coated liposomes (TA-CHL), prepared by the calcium acetate gradient method with some modifications. TA-CHL provided the mean particle size of 135.46 ± 4.49 nm and high entrapment efficiency (90.66 ± 3.21%), exhibited a sustained release profile, excellent physical stability, and no significant toxicity on cornea, conjunctiva, and retina. Optical coherence tomography system (OCT) was used to detect pharmacokinetics of CHL in vivo, indicating that CHL had good potency for drug delivery. Cellular uptake experiments showed CHL had the higher transduction efficiency into HCEC and ARPE-19 than liposomes. TA-CHL was shown to be potentially effective eye drop to contribute to the posterior segment of the eye.

To reduce costs and improve practicability, an ion imprinted magnetic chitosan (IMCS) was synthesized through co-precipitation using steel pickling waste liquor and chitosan and Cu(II) as template ions, which was then characterized by TEM, SEM, EDX, FTIR, XRD and VSM. The batch experiments were carried out for its potential application and high selectivity of Cu(II) removal, which were observed due to the paramagnetic properties and coordination reactions in the imprinted cavities. Kinetic studies revealed that the adsorption process followed a pseudo second-order model and the equilibrium data fit perfectly with the Langmuir isotherm model. The maximum adsorption capacity was 109.89 mg g−1. Negative values for ΔH0 and ΔG0 indicated an exothermic and spontaneous adsorption process. The adsorption process was found to be a chemical reaction and coordination complexes were formed between the metal ions and the groups of chitosan binding mainly in the “bridge model”. Moreover, 0.2 mol L−1 HCl solution was considered as the most appropriate eluent for regeneration. It showed a great performance in the experiments for practical copper wastewater and the process was considerably cost-effective.

A high-performance oil-water separation device that built by environment-friendly materials is a promising strategy to solve water pollution problem. In this study, we developed an oil-water separation system with chitin/halloysite nanotubes (C/HNTs) composites. C/HNTs were crosslinked by epichlorohydrin and freeze-dried, then a porous sponge was formed. The C/HNTs sponge was modified to be hydrophobic via immersing into bromohexadecane ethanol solution. The surface structure, mechanical properties, microstructure, oil absorption and oil-water separation ability of the C/HNTs sponge were investigated. The addition of HNTs significantly increased the compressive strength of chitin sponge without influence on porous structure . IR spectra indicated the successful coating of bromohexadecane on the C/HNTs sponge surface, which enabled the hydrophobicity and lipophilicity of this construct. The inside construct of the C/HNTs sponges were full of interconnected pores, and the pore size ranged from 250 to 500 μm. The absorption capability for various oil and grease were measured, including methylbenzene, sunflower seed oil , carbon dichloride, n-hexane, chloroform and acetone. It is found that the total amount of chloroform absorbed by a C/HNTs sponge was ~11.23 times of the sponge's weight, and the absorption for hexane was ~3.94 times of the sponge's weight. The sponge also exhibited an excellent oil-water separation ability with as high as 98.7% separation efficiency. All the results suggested that the chitin/HNTs sponges with improved mechanical property would have a great potential in oil-water separation.

Modified natural polymer flocculants has been the focus of research in environmental engineering field. Natural large molecular compound, chitosan (CTS) with many functional amino and hydroxyl groups can be easily modified to enhance its original functions. This work presents an environmentally friendly chitosan-based cationic polyacrylamide flocculants (CTS-g-PAMA) with enhanced function of sterilization and flocculation . CTS-g-PAMA was synthesized through Ultraviolet (UV)-initiated copolymerization. Structure characterization of FTIR, 1 H NMR, XRD and UV spectrum confirmed the successful grafting of AM and MAPTAC. Scanning electron microscopy (SEM) analysis results showed that CTS-g-PAMA exhibited a porous structure with a prodigious surface area. CTS-g-PAMA was then applied to treat a series of simulated waste water containing kaolin or Escherichia coli . Flocculation tests indicated that CTS-g-PAMA not only showed excellent flocculation effect but also showed high sterilization capability. A series of ONP concentration measurement tests through UV spectra analysis and 3D EEM analysis of suspension before and after flocculation were conducted to study sterilization mechanism, and results revealed the sterilization effect of CTS-g-PAMA was essentially bactericidal, not just antibacterial.

Natural and high-quality biomass-based coating films are considered promising packaging to consumers. However, the poor mechanical properties and weak antimicrobial activity of biomass materials have limited their practical application. A cleaner and low-cost strategy is used to prepare antimicrobial, self-recovery, and biocompatible coating films using tamarind kernel powder (TKP) and chitosan (CS). The TKP protein and chitosan chains were covalently cross-linked with tetrakis(hydroxymethyl)phosphonium chloride (THPC) to form a three-dimensional network based on THPC-amine dynamic bonds, and act as a sacrificial bond. Then, the hydrogen bond forms an interpenetrating network to build a strong multi-network film. Thus, the THPC multi-crosslinking TKP based films showed enhanced stretchable property (increased from 3.23 % to 77.54 %), and self-recovery after 30 min of recovery. Additionally, the film has been found to exhibit low water vapor permeability, low oxygen transmittance rate, and excellent antimicrobial efficiency (maximum inhibition zones: 24.39 mm). Moreover, the prepared films were demonstrated to be biocompatible and non-hemolytic based on cell viability and hemolytic activity assays. The method described herein could broaden the scope of biomass-based materials in the realm of antimicrobial coating films.

Chitosan was applied as the electrode binder material for a spherical graphite anode in lithium-ion batteries. Compared to using poly (vinylidene fluoride) (PVDF) binder, the graphite anode using chitosan exhibited enhanced electrochemical performances in terms of the first Columbic efficiency, rate capability and cycling behavior. With similar specific capacity, the first Columbic efficiency of the chitosan-based anode is 95.4% compared to 89.3% of the PVDF-based anode. After 200 charge–discharge cycles at 0.5 C , the capacity retention of the chitosan-based electrode showed to be significantly higher than that of the PVDF-based electrode. Electrochemical impedance spectroscopy (EIS) and scanning electron microscopy (SEM) measurements were carried out to investigate the formation and evolution of the solid electrolyte interphase (SEI) formed on the graphite electrodes. The results show that a thin, homogenous and stable SEI layer is formed on the graphite electrode surface with chitosan binder compared with that using the conventional PVDF binder

This study explores the possibility of producing tunable cellulose nanofibers (CNFs) with a wide range of size and properties from sugarcane bagasse in an energy-efficient manner, which is very meaningful for specific application of CNFs. The bleached bagasse kraft pulp was subjected to endoglucanase pretreatment with a wide range of enzyme dosage followed by mechanical grinding to obtain size-tunable CNFs. The size distribution and structural characteristics of CNFs, energy consumed during the CNF production process, and properties of CNF films were systematically investigated as a function of the enzyme dosage applied in the pretreatment. The results showed that endoglucanase-assisted mechanical grinding was able to produce CNFs with controllable length (298–4500 nm) and diameter (9–26 nm), meanwhile improving CNF yield and energy-efficiency. The controllable range of CNF length was extremely wide based on our best knowledge. The optical performance and mechanical properties of the prepared CNF films could be effectively tuned by regulating the structural characteristics of the CNFs. Moreover, all the as-prepared CNFs retained high thermal stability. The tailor-made CNFs from sugarcane bagasse are expected to provide compatibility with various CNF-related applications.
