The objective of this study was to investigate the use of chitosan-clay nanocomposite (CC) as an adsorbent for Rhodamine 6G (Rh-6G). The effects of adsorbent dose, contact time, and concentration on the adsorption process were systematically studied. Isotherm models were applied to the experimental equilibrium data obtained from spectrophotometric measurements of dye adsorption. Various Kinetic models were used to describe the kinetic data and evaluate of rate constants. Rh-6G loaded adsorbents were investigated for their optical and photophysical properties.

This study evaluates the properties of starch/chitosan films (SCF) produced via the casting method, incorporating 40 % (w/w) plasticizers (glycerol and sorbitol) and various concentrations (0, 3, 5, and 10 % (w/w)) of nanoclays (Cloisite 20A, Cloisite 30B, and K-10). The effects of each nanofiller on the films were thoroughly investigated. Films containing nanoclays exhibited reduced water solubility and enhanced thermal stability compared to films without nanofillers.

Although hemostatic powders are commonly used in clinical and emergency settings, they frequently show poor absorption, raise cytotoxicity issues, and are not effective for fatal non-compressible bleeding. The purpose of this research is to create a self-gelling hemostatic powder based on chitosan, bentonite, and sodium polyacrylate (CBS) to improve the hemostatic effect. When liquid comes into contact with CBS powders, they can fuse and form a stable hydrogel in less than 30s.

The current research is devoted to the development and characterization of green antimicrobial polymer biocomposites for food packaging applications. The biocomposites were developed by melt compounding on the basis of two different succinate polymer matrices with varying chain stiffness-polybutylene succinate (PBS) or its copolymer with 20 mol.% of polybutylene adipate (PBSA).

Cartilage defects are frequently caused by trauma, illness and degradation of the cartilage. If these defects are not sufficiently treated, the joints will degrade irreversibly, possibly resulting in disability. Articular cartilage lacks blood vessels and nerves and is unable to regenerate itself, so the repair of cartilage defects is extremely challenging in clinical treatment.
