There has been a great deal of interest in the use nanostructured bacterial cellulose membranes for biomedical applications, including tissue implants, wound healing, and drug delivery. However, as does not intrinsically present antimicrobial properties, study, were obtained by chemical grafting aminoalkyl groups onto surface its nanofibrillar network. This approach intends to mimic intrinsic properties chitosan. Interestingly, these novel grafted (BC-NH2) are simultaneously lethal against...
The design of cheap and safe antibacterial materials for widespread use has been a challenge in science. copper nanostructures combined with abundant biopolymers such as cellulose offers potential approach to achieve though this less investigated compared other composites. Here, nanocomposites comprising nanofillers matrices have prepared by situ ex methods. Two (vegetable bacterial) were together morphological distinct particulates (nanoparticles nanowires). A study on the activity these...
Transparent corrole grafted-chitosan films were prepared by chemical modification of chitosan with a macrocycle, namely, 5,10,15-tris(pentafluorophenyl)corrole (TPFC), followed solvent casting. The obtained characterized in terms absorption spectra (UV-vis), FLIM (fluorescence lifetime imaging microscopy), structure (FTIR, XPS), thermal stability (TGA), thermomechanical properties (DMA), and antibacterial activity. results showed that the grafting units did not affect its film-forming...
Abstract Two different biodegradable polyesters [polycaprolactone (PCL) and poly(3‐hydroxybutyrate ‐co‐ valerate) (PHBV)] were blended with a maize starch that had high amylose content through the use reactive approaches. The compatibilization of both systems was obtained. PCL/starch composites obtained by addition third component able to act as coupling agent, interface PHBV/starch improved during blending an organic peroxide. Thermal, morphological, mechanical characterization showed...
Novel antibacterial and biocompatible transparent films based on chitosan or pullulan two bioactive ionic liquids, cholinium hexanoate citrate, were prepared.
Antibacterial thermoplastic starch-chitosan based materials were successfully prepared by melt-mixing. The effect of chitosan modification (quaternization and grafting long carbon chains) on the properties was also studied. All ensuing characterized in terms thermal stability, crystalline structure, mechanical performance, antibacterial activity. incorporation its derivatives into starch matrices resulted an increment tensile strengths (up to 85%); however for higher contents (5 7.5 wt.%), a...
Efficient end‐of‐life solutions play an important role in developing sustainable packaging because they contribute to reducing resource wastage and environmental impact, whilst providing economic social benefits. This paper briefly reviews current for fibre bio‐based materials Europe. It also addresses research the field, as well standardization, legislation socio‐economic aspects related renewable review focuses on following groups of materials: board bioplastics. With this hierarchy,...
Abstract The biodegradability of solution‐cast films poly( D (–)‐3‐hydroxybutyrate) (PHB) blended with the melt‐compatible component atactic poly(epichlorohydrin) (aPECH) was investigated. A bacterium which produced extracellular enzymes that degraded PHB even when aPECH isolated, and tentatively designated as Aureobacterium saperdae . growth rate A. decreased increasing content in blend, up to containing 60 wt.‐% aPECH, at composition completely inhibited. decrease bacterial could be due...
