1,2-Benzisothiazol-3(2H)-one (BIT) has strong antibacterial activity, but its water insolubility and skin toxicity effects hinder its application in the antibacterial domain of the fuel system. In this study, benzisothiazolinone quaternized chitosan derivative (HACCBIT) was synthesized by intercalated quaternized chitosan with 1,2-benzisothiazolin-3-one-based anions (BIT-COO-) via ion-exchange reactions. HACCBIT exhibits enhanced aqueous solubility and remarkable biocompatibility. It exhibited significant antibacterial and antibiofilm effects against gram-negative bacteria (Escherichia coli), gram-positive bacteria (Staphylococcus aureus) as well as microbial contaminants isolated from stored aviation fuels (Sediminibacterium salmoneum and Lysinibacillus sphaericus) by induced cytoplasmic leakage and membrane permeability. Furthermore, HACCBIT also inhibited the corrosion of the 7050‑aluminum alloy used in fuel tanks for >84 h. This study demonstrated that covalently linking BIT to chitosan via electronic splicing techniques, effectively mitigates the deficiencies of BIT while demonstrating a unique bactericidal action against bacteria in aviation fuel. It also safeguards metal components within fuel tanks, thereby enhancing the potential of polysaccharide derivatives as effective antibacterial agents in fuel systems.

The development of antibacterial sponges with both high water-absorbing and mechanical properties is highly desirable for attaining efficient hemostasis and closure of noncompressible wounds, but remains challenging. General methods, such as increasing porosity, to improve the water absorption of sponges inevitably compromise their mechanical properties. Herein, a chitin (CT)/quaternized chitosan (QCS) sponge with the desirable properties was fabricated by freeze-drying the chemically and physically dual cross-linked CT/QCS hydrogel with enhanced hydrophilicity.

Bacterial keratitis (BK) is an acute or chronic transient keratopathy that, in extreme circumstances, can result in blindness. Conventional contact lens (CL) materials also have drawbacks of insufficient antimicrobial properties. The research aims to develop a new potion-containing gel CL based on pHEMA hydrogel with a radius of 15 mm and a thickness of 0.

The treatment of infected wounds is often complicated by bacterial infection and impaired scar healing. Antibiotics and growth factors are typically utilized to address these clinical challenges and expedite wound healing. However, the use of hydrogels containing these therapeutic agents is often restricted to complex cases and increases treatment costs considerably.

Compromised skin barrier fails to prevent pathogenic bacterial invasion, leading to wound infection and potentially severe tissue damage, for which conventional wound dressings provide inadequate therapeutic outcomes. Herein, we have developed a multifunctional injectable hydrogel (QCS-APA/P@D@C) based on quaternized chitosan (QCS) and aldehyde-modified aliphatic polycarbonate (APA), incorporating Prussian Blue (PB) @Polydopamine (PDA) @Cu (P@D@C) submicron particles (SPs). This novel hydrogel exhibits photothermal antibacterial properties, on-demand removal capability, and Cu-facilitated wound healing enhancement.
