N-methylene phosphonic chitosan (NMPC) is treated with hexyl aldehyde to give an imine, which is easily converted into N-hexyl-N-methylene phosphonic chitosan (HNMPC) under mild conditions. The structure of this new chitosan derivative is characterized by FT- IR, H, C, P, HC-HSQC NMR, SEM and XRD. The influence of reactional parameters on the substitution degree (DS), evidenced that a mol ratio 1.50:1.00 (hexyl aldehyde: free amino groups); a reaction time of 1 h. and 45 °C of temperature afford the best DS. HNMPC molecular weight is 12,768.62 Da. It shows good emulsifying properties giving o/w emulsions with high stability in time. Microscopic observation as well as particle size distribution show an unimodal droplet size distribution with low droplet diameters. Preliminary tests lead us to believe that this new polymer has good film forming properties.

The aim of this study was to develop a composite thermosensitive hydrogel for bone regeneration applications. This hydrogel consisted of chitosan, alginate and hydroxyapatite, and was loaded with zoledronic acid as a model drug. The feasibility of three-dimensional (3D) printing of the thermosensitive hydrogel using the extrusion based technique was investigated.

Polyester/cotton (T/C) blended fabrics are widely utilized in textile due to the dimensional stability and high elasticity provided by polyester, combined with the comfort and moisture absorption offered by cotton. However, simultaneously enhancing the flame retardancy and maintaining the physical properties of T/C blended fabrics for clothing and furniture applications remains a big challenge. This study introduces a bio-based flame-retardant coating using polyelectrolyte complexes (PEC) composed of ammonium vinyl phosphonate-grafted chitosan (AMVP-g-CS).

This study introduces a novel 3D scaffold for bone regeneration, composed of silk fibroin, chitosan, nano-hydroxyapatite, LL-37 antimicrobial peptide, and pamidronate. The scaffold addresses a critical need in bone tissue engineering by simultaneously combating bone infections and promoting bone growth. LL-37 was incorporated for its broad-spectrum antimicrobial properties, while pamidronate was included to inhibit bone resorption.

Interest in the development of eco-friendly, sustainable, and convenient bio-based coatings to enhance flame retardancy and antibacterial properties in cotton fabrics is growing. In this work, chitosan was protonated at its amino groups using a method with a high atom economy using an equimolar amount of amino trimethylene phosphonic acid (ATMP), resulting in the fabrication of a single-component chitosan-based multifunctional coating (ATMP-CS), thereby avoiding any additional neutralization or purification steps. Cotton fabrics coated with various loads of ATMP-CS were prepared through a padding-drying-curing process.

A novel biomass-based magnetic nanoparticle (FeO-P-CMC/PAMAM) was synthesized by crosslinking carboxymethyl chitosan (CMC) and poly(amidoamine) (PAMAM), followed by phosphorylation with the incorporation of magnetic ferric oxide nanoparticles. The characterization results verified the successful functionalization and structural integrity of the adsorbents with a surface area of . 43 m/g.
