Effect of titanium dioxide nanoparticles and β-cyclodextrin polymer on physicochemical, antimicrobial, and antibiofilm properties of a novel chitosan-camphor polymer.

In this paper, chitosan (Chi) was successfully reacted with natural mono ketone namely, camphor (Cam), through a condensation reaction to obtain a novel Chi-Cam polymer. The encapsulation of Chi-Cam polymer into the cavity of β-cyclodextrin biopolymer by inclusion complex method, and the immobilization of TiO NPs into Chi-Cam matrix by metal complex method were performed. A set of characterizations (XRD, FTIR, SEM, UV-Vis.
