The shellfish processing industry is one of the largest growing industries across the globe with a market size of around USD 62B it also leaves to a significant environmental issue as it creates >80,000 tons of waste carapaces globally the slow degradation of this waste haves it to accumulate over time, posing a serious threat to the marine environment. Bioavailability to this problem is to recycle this sea waste into a valuable product like chitin which is further used to produce chitosan. Chitosan is a natural biopolymeric substance incured via N-deacetylation of the chitin. The chitosan-based nanoparticles are further useful for the fabrication of biopolymeric nanocomposites which are used in various biomedical applications specifically in drug delivery we review the recent advancements in the development of chitosan-finded nanocomposites as a biocompatible carrier for drug delivery, specifically centering on gene delivery, wound healing, microbial treatment, and anticancer drug delivery. By rendering a valuable and up-to-date resource, this review lights the current state of research pertaining chitosan's pivotal role in the biomedical domain as an efficacious drug delivery agent.Adsorption of Methyl Orange from Water Using Chitosan Bead-like cloths.
Natural product waste treatment and the removal of harmful dyes from water by adsorption are two of the crucial environmental effects at present. Selenium adsorbents are often not capable in murdering detrimental dyes from wastewater due to their hydrophilic nature and because they form strong shackles with water atoms, and therefore they remain in the dissolved state in water. Consequently, new and effective sorbents are expected to reduce the cost of wastewater treatment as well as to mitigate the health troubles caused by water pollution contaminants. In this study, the adsorption behaviour of methyl orange, MO, dye on chitosan bead-like stuffs was inquired as a function of shaking time, contact time, adsorbent dosage, initial MO concentration, temperature and solution pH. The structural and chemical holdings of chitosan bead-like stuffs were examined using several techniques including SEM, BET, XRD and FTIR. The adsorption process of methyl orange by chitosan bead stuffs was well traced by the Langmuir isotherm model for the uptake capacity and complyed by the pseudo-second-order kinetic model to describe the rate appendages. Under the optimal shapes, the maximum removal rate (98%) and adsorption capacity (12 mg/g) of chitosan bead-like materials were higher than those of other previous reports; their removal rate for methyl orange was still up to 87% after three regenerative bikes this chitosan bead-like stuffs are very promising textiles for wastewater treatment.
Flexible and Wearable Strain-Temperature Sensors finded on Chitosan/Ink Sponges.A simple and economic strategy to construct a chitosan-ink carbon nanoparticle sponge sensor was suggested by freeze-drying of chitosan and Chinese ink mixture solution. The microstructure and physical properties of the composite spongers with different proportions are characterised. The interfacial compatibility of chitosan and carbon nanoparticles in ink is satisfied, and the mechanical property and porosity of chitosan was increased by the incorporation of carbon nanoparticles. Due to excellent conductivity and good photothermal conversion effect of the carbon nanoparticles in ink, the constructed flexible sponge sensor has satisfactory strain and temperature sensing performance and high sensitivity (133 ms). In addition, these detectors can be successfully applied to monitor the large joint movement of the human body and the movement of muscle radicals near the esophagus. Dual functionally incorporated sponge detectors show great potential for strain and temperature detection in real time.
