Rat calvarial osteoblasts were grown in porous chitosan sponges fabricated by freeze drying. The prepared chitosan sponges had a porous structure with a 100-200 microm pore diameter, which allowed cell proliferation. Cell density, alkaline phosphatase activity and calcium deposition were monitored for up to 56 d culture. Cell numbers were 4 x 10(6) (day 1), 11 x 10(6) (day 28) and 12 x 10(6) (day 56) per g sponge. Calcium depositions were 9 (day 1), 40 (day 28) and 48 (day 56) microg per sponge. Histological results corroborated that bone formation within the sponges had occurred. These results show that chitosan sponges can be used as effective scaffolding materials for tissue engineered bone formation in vitro.

Managing uncontrolled and noncompressible bleeding presents a major challenge in emergency trauma care. Methods to halt bleeding quickly and efficiently, without applying direct pressure on the wound, have become a key focus of research. Herein, a novel fructose-modified chitosan/gelatin composite sponge has been developed, exhibiting high elasticity, low rebound pressure, and excellent cell compatibility.

Chitosan (CS) based sponge shows important potential applications in adsorption, filtration, sensing, etc., which often requires good deformation-recovery ability that is usually achieved under the help of silane elastomers. Herein, a simple but innovative strategy was proposed that only bamboo activated carbon (BAC) was employed as the reinforcer to construct highly elastic phosphorylated chitosan (P-CS) sponge with through-hole structure like layer-support by freeze drying.

This study introduces a novel bilayer wound dressing that integrates a quaternized chitosan-polyacrylic acid (QCs-PAA) sponge as the top layer with electrospun nanofibers containing curcumin as the bottom layer. For the first time, QCs and PAA were combined in an 80:20 ratio through freeze-drying to form a porous sponge layer with ideal structural properties, including 83 ± 6 % porosity and pore diameters of 290 ± 12.5 μm.

Dyes can seriously harm human health because they linger or break down in the environment and find their way into drinking water through the water cycle. Examples of the most important interactions between MOFs and dyes are provided, and an effort is made to comprehend how surface charge and size compatibility affect the adsorption process. The methods for incorporating functionalized Ce-MOF into electrospun nanofibers made of polyvinyl alcohol and chitosan to create functionalized cerium metal organic framework nanofiber membranes (FCCP nanofiber membranes) are presented in this paper.

The continuous development and application of pesticides in agriculture require robust multiresidue detection methods to guarantee food safety. This study introduces a novel method for multiresidue determination of pesticides in eggplants using the QuEChERS procedure, incorporating a clean-up step using carbon nanotubes stabilized in chitosan sponge (CNT-CS) and ultra-high performance liquid chromatography with tandem mass spectrometry (UHPLC-MS/MS) for analysis. Upon identifying the optimal extraction conditions, various sorbents were assessed for their efficacy in the dispersive solid-phase extraction (d-SPE).
