This work focuses on the first use of ultrasonic phenol-ene coupling as a polymer analogous transformation. The ultrasonic reaction was introduced into chitin chemistry, resulting in the fast and convenient preparation of new water-soluble cationic chitin derivatives. Since water-soluble derivatives of fully deacetylated chitin are poorly described in the literature, the synthesis of each new type of these derivatives is a significant event in polysaccharide chemistry.

Article Synopsis
  • The study focused on creating and evaluating chitosan-based films that contain Rhodamine B, assessing their mechanical, photophysical, and antibacterial properties.
  • These films were produced via a casting method, with their mechanical attributes influenced by the chemical composition and drying techniques used.
  • The results indicated that these films not only have enhanced antibacterial activity but also show potential as fluorescent temperature sensors, making them applicable in areas like healthcare, food safety, and agriculture.
