Abstract
The attention to polymer-based biomaterials, for instance, chitosan and its derivatives, as well as the techniques for using them in numerous scientific domains, is continuously rising. Chitosan is a decomposable naturally occurring polymeric material that is mostly obtained from seafood waste. Because of its special ecofriendly, biocompatible, non- toxic nature as well as antimicrobial properties, chitosan-based materials have received a lot of interest in the field of biomedical applications. The reactivity of chitosan is mainly because of the amino and hydroxyl groups in its composition, which makes it further fascinating for various uses, including biosensing, textile finishing, antimicrobial wound dressing, tissue engineering, bioimaging, gene, DNA and drug delivery and as a coating material for medical implants. This study is an overview of the different types of chitosan-based materials which now a days have been fabricated by applying different techniques and modifications that include etherification, esterification, crosslinking, graft copolymerization and o-acetylation etc. for hydroxyl groups' processes and acetylation, quaternization, Schiff's base reaction, and grafting for amino groups' reactions. Furthermore, this overview summarizes the literature from recent years related to the important applications of chitosan-based materials (i.e., thin films, nanocomposites or nanoparticles, sponges and hydrogels) in different biomedical applications.

NANOMATERIALS (BASEL, SWITZERLAND) 2023; 13:nano13050848. [PMID: 36903726 PMCID: PMC10005688 DOI: 10.3390/nano13050848] [Citation(s) in RCA: 5] [Impact Index Per Article: 5.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 02/08/2023] [Revised: 02/17/2023] [Accepted: 02/22/2023] [Indexed: 06/10/2023]
Abstract
One of the crucial challenges of our time is to effectively use metal and metal oxide nanoparticles (NPs) as an alternative way to combat drug-resistant infections. Metal and metal oxide NPs such as Ag, Ag2O, Cu, Cu2O, CuO, and ZnO have found their way against antimicrobial resistance. However, they also suffer from several limitations ranging from toxicity issues to resistance mechanisms by complex structures of bacterial communities, so-called biofilms. In this regard, scientists are urgently looking for convenient approaches to develop heterostructure synergistic nanocomposites which could overcome toxicity issues, enhance antimicrobial activity, improve thermal and mechanical stability, and increase shelf life. These nanocomposites provide a controlled release of bioactive substances into the surrounding medium, are cost effective, reproducible, and scalable for real life applications such as food additives, nanoantimicrobial coating in food technology, food preservation, optical limiters, the bio medical field, and wastewater treatment application. Naturally abundant and non-toxic Montmorillonite (MMT) is a novel support to accommodate NPs, due to its negative surface charge and control release of NPs and ions. At the time of this review, around 250 articles have been published focusing on the incorporation of Ag-, Cu-, and ZnO-based NPs into MMT support and thus furthering their introduction into polymer matrix composites dominantly used for antimicrobial application. Therefore, it is highly relevant to report a comprehensive review of Ag-, Cu-, and ZnO-modified MMT. This review provides a comprehensive overview of MMT-based nanoantimicrobials, particularly dealing with preparation methods, materials characterization, and mechanisms of action, antimicrobial activity on different bacterial strains, real life applications, and environmental and toxicity issues.

Int J Biol Macromol 2022; 223:779-789.

Abstract
It is popular that natural organics are served as green reducing and end-capping reagent for synthesis of functional nanoparticles. In this study, curcumin, a natural pigment, was employed to prepare silver nanoparticles (AgNPs) as a coloring, reducing and end-capping agent by an eco-friendly, economic and facile approach in the presence of different clay minerals, including palygorskite, montmorillonite and mixed-dimensional palygorskite clay. It was found that the phenolic hydroxyl groups or carbonyl groups of curcumin played a crucial role to reduce silver ions into AgNPs with the ginger color. Meanwhile, incorporation of clay minerals could induce the in-situ heterogeneous nucleation of AgNPs on the surface or/and interlayer of the involved clay minerals. It effectively prevented from the aggregations and resulted in uniform dispersion of AgNPs with a diameter of 30-40 nm. Furthermore, the as-prepared nanocomposites exhibited a higher antioxidant (>90%) and antibacterial activity. Due to the synergistic effect of each component among the nanocompositions, the nanocomposites derived from different clay minerals were employed as multifunctional nanofillers to design functional chitosan composite films. By contrast, the chitosan composite films containing curcumin-capped AgNPs/mixed-dimensional palygorskite clay nanocomposites exhibited the best mechanical properties, antioxidant and antibacterial activities. Compared with the chitosan films, the tensile strength and elongation at break of composite films increased by 15.90 MPa and 27.27%, respectively. The inactivation rate of the composite films against Escherichia coli and Staphylococcus aureus had reached 100%. Therefore, the obtained composite film with the ginger color exhibited excellent mechanical, water resistance, antioxidant and antibacterial properties, and it was expected to develop a great potential functional packaging materials.

JOURNAL OF HAZARDOUS MATERIALS 2022; 434:128896.

Abstract
Paper products are widely used in daily life, while the lack of antibacterial activity has made them become some disease transmission media. Herein, we introduced NIR-responsive molybdenum disulfide nanosheets (MoS2) to endow nanocellulose paper antibacterial activity by electrostatic self-assembly with quaternized chitosan (QCS). Firstly, the MoS2 nanosheets were exfoliated and stabilized with QCS under ultrasonication. The strong coordination between QCS and MoS2 as well as the electrostatic attraction between QCS and cellulose nanofiber (CNF) helped to fabricate the MoS2@QCS/CNF composite paper. The MoS2@QCS/CNF composite paper exhibited excellent photothermal and photodynamic activity, achieving over 99.9% antibacterial efficacy against both E. coli and S. aureus, respectively. The hyperthermia induced by MoS2 accelerated the glutathione (GSH) consumption and the reactive oxygen species (ROS)-independent oxidative stress destroyed the bacteria membranes integrity, synergistically leading to the malondialdehyde (MDA) oxidation and protein leakage to inhibit the bacteria growth. Importantly, the self-assembled fibrous network incorporating with the photo-stable antibacterial MoS2 enabled the flexible composite paper with excellent mechanical strength and recyclability for long-term antimicrobial, possessing over 99.9% inhibition even after five cycles. No cell cytotoxicity was observed for the MoS2@QCS/CNF composite paper, suggesting the potential of composite paper for bacterial infection control.

Abstract
Over the last years, chitosan has demonstrated unparalleled characteristics for regenerative medicine applications. Beside excellent antimicrobial and wound healing properties, this polysaccharide biopolymer offers favorable characteristics such as biocompatibility, biodegradability, and film and fiber-forming capabilities. Having plentiful active amine groups, chitosan can be also readily modified to provide auxiliary features for growing demands in regenerative medicine, which is constantly confronted with new problems, necessitating the creation of biocompatible, immunogenic and biodegradable film/scaffold composites. A new look at the chitosan composites structure/activity/application tradeoff is the primary focus of the current review, which can help researchers to detect the bottlenecks and overcome the shortcomings that arose from this intersection. In the current review, the most recent advances in chitosan films and scaffolds in terms of preparation techniques and modifying methods for improving their functional properties, in three major biomedical fields i.e., tissue engineering, wound healing, and drug delivery are surveyed and discussed.

Abstract
Chitosan, a chitin-derivative polysaccharide, known for its non-toxicity, biocompatibility and biodegradability, presents limited applications due to its low solubility in neutral or basic pH medium. Quaternization stands out as an alternative to modify this natural polymer, aiming to improve its solubility over a wide pH range and, consequently, expand its range of applications. Quaternization occurs by introducing a quaternary ammonium moiety onto or outside the chitosan backbone, via chemical reactions with primary amino and hydroxyl groups, under vast experimental conditions. The oldest and most common forms of quaternized chitosan involve N,N,N-trimethyl chitosan (TMC) and N-[(2-hydroxy-3-trimethyl ammonium) propyl] chitosan (HTCC) and, more recently, quaternized chitosan by insertion of pyridinium or phosphonium salts. By modifying chitosan through the insertion of a quaternary moiety, permanent cationic charges on the polysaccharide backbone are achieved and properties such as water solubility, antimicrobial activity, mucoadhesiveness and permeability are significantly improved, enabling the application mainly in the biomedical and pharmaceutical areas. In this review, the main quaternized chitosan compounds are addressed in terms of their structure, properties, synthesis routes and applications. In addition, other less explored compounds are also presented, involving the main findings and future prospects regarding the field of quaternized chitosans.

Abstract
Many by-products that are harmful to the environment and human health are generated during food processing. However, these wastes are often potential resources with high-added value. For example, crustacean waste contains large amounts of chitin. Chitin is one of the most abundant polysaccharides in natural macromolecules, and is a typical component of crustaceans, mollusks, insect exoskeleton and fungal cell walls. Chitosan is prepared by deacetylation of chitin and a copolymer of D-glucosamine and N-acetyl-D-glucosamine through β-(1 → 4)-glycosidic bonds. Chitosan has better solubility, biocompatibility and degradability compared with chitin. This review introduces the preparation, physicochemical properties, chemical and physical modification methods of chitosan, which could help us understand its biological activities and applications. According to the latest reports, the antibacterial activity, antioxidant, immune and antitumor activities of chitosan and its derivatives are summarized. Simultaneously, the various applications of chitosan and its derivatives are reviewed, including food, chemical, textile, medical and health, and functional materials. Finally, some insights into its future potential are provided, including novel modification methods, directional modification according to structure-activity relationship, activity and application development direction, etc.

Facile synthesis of Ag nanoparticles-loaded chitosan antibacterial nanocomposite and its application in polypropylene. Int J Biol Macromol 2020; 161:1286-1295.

Abstract
The development of environmental-friendly antibacterial agents with high efficiency and low cost has become the focus of attention. In this work, the Ag nanoparticles doped into chitosan (Ag NPs-CS) were synthesized by a green and facile method, and the samples were characterized by UV-Vis spectroscopy, scanning electron microscopy (SEM), transmission electron microscopy (TEM), X-ray diffraction (XRD), Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR), and thermogravimetric analysis (TGA). The antibacterial tests implied that Ag NPs-CS obtained from glucose (G-Ag NPs-CS) exhibited the excellent antimicrobial activities against Gram-negative (Escherichia coli) and Gram-positive (Staphylococcus aureus) microbes. Besides, the utilization of antibacterial agents in polymeric materials plays an significant role in healthy living. The aim is to impart the antibacterial properties and maintain/improve the mechanical properties. Therefore, the G-Ag NPs-CS with 5 wt% Ag was chosen as the optimal additive to endow polypropylene with antimicrobial activity via a simple melt blending method. The results demonstrated that the suppression of bacteria proliferation was enhanced with increasing the amount of antibacterial agent, and the microorganisms were almost killed when the content reached to 8 wt%. Meanwhile, the considerable improvement in elastic modulus and impact strength along with a slight decrease of elongation at break provided the evidence that Ag NPs-CS/PP nanocomposites were the promising candidate for practical applications.

Abstract
The rise of antibiotic-resistant microorganisms has become a critical issue in recent years and has promoted substantial research efforts directed to the development of more effective antimicrobial therapies utilizing different bactericidal mechanisms to neutralize infectious diseases. Modern approaches employ at least two mixed bioactive agents to enhance bactericidal effects. However, the combinations of drugs may not always show a synergistic effect, and further, could also produce adverse effects or stimulate negative outcomes. Therefore, investigations providing insights into the effective utilization of combinations of biocidal agents are of great interest. Sometimes, combination therapy is needed to avoid resistance development in difficult-to-treat infections or biofilm-associated infections treated with common biocides. Thus, this contribution reviews the literature reports discussing the usage of antimicrobial polymers along with nanomaterials or other inhibitors for the development of more potent biocidal therapies.
