“…Chitosan is a commonly used biopolymer, with unique chemical and physical properties. It is produced by deacetylation of chitin, which is a biodegradable, nontoxic polysaccharide that is water-soluble in acid, amongst others [2][3][4][5]. It has many applications in pharmacy, biotechnology and cosmetic industry [2,3].…”

“…The main difference is the presence of primary amino groups at the C-2 positions in chitosan, where the cellulose has hydroxyl groups. The presence of active groups in the chitosan molecular structure allows for easy chemical modification [3][4][5]. These groups are responsible for its solubility in a diluted aqueous acid solution as a polycationic polymer [4][5][6][7].…”

“…Many techniques are available for applying chitosan to cellulose fibers, such as treatments of cellulose fibers with cross linking agents, where cotton fibers are soaked in chitosan solutions [7,8,[12][13][14]. In recent years, many studies have been made on cellulose fibers that are functionalized with chitosan [4][5][6][7][8][9][10][12][13][14][15][16][17][18][19][20][21]. Chitosan treatments offer many advantages for regenerated cellulose fibers, such as biodegradability, non-toxicity, improved absorption ability, etc.…”

Abstract:The great potential of regenerated cellulose fibers, which offer excellent possibilities as a matrix for the design of bioactive materials, was the lead for our research. We focused on the surface modification of fibers to improve the sorption properties of regenerated cellulose and biocomposite regenerated cellulose/chitosan fibers, which are on the market. The purpose of our investigation was also the modification of regenerated cellulose fibers with the functionalization by chitosan as a means of obtaining similar properties to biocomposite regenerated cellulose/chitosan fibers on the market. Argon gas plasma was used for fiber surface activation and chitosan adsorption. Ultrasound was also used as a treatment procedure for the surface activation of regenerated cellulose fibers and treatment with chitosan. Analyses have shown that ultrasonic energy or plasma change the accessibility of free functional groups, structure and reactivity, especially in regenerated cellulose fibers. Changes that occurred in the morphology and in the structure of fibers were also reflected in their physical and chemical properties. Consequently, moisture content, sorption properties and water retention improved.

In this work, chitosan hydrogel has been synthesized and used to impart pH‐sensitivity and antimicrobial finish to cotton fabric. In order to enhance the incorporation rate of hydrogel, anionic, and cationic activation of the textile surface was applied and then compared. The antibacterial activity of the fabric was then studied. The results revealed an enhancement of the antibacterial activities of the modified fabrics against Escherichia coli, Listeria monocytogene, and Staphylococcus aureus bacteria's. The capacity of material to respond to pH change was studied and confirmed using contact angle method. The anionic fabric treated with hydrogel showed a better pH‐responsiveness. Scanning electron microscopic testing results has also confirmed that the deposition of hydrogel was clearly better with the anionic activation. The characteristics of breathability of the fabrics were analyzed. The results show that the moisture management behavior of the finished materials is significantly better than the control one. Although the permeability to air has reduced by 10%, the permeability to water vapor remained practically unchanged. Furthermore, the effects of the antibacterial finishing on the physical properties of the cotton fabrics were also investigated. It was established that the functionalized samples have changed structure parameters, thickness, air permeability, tensile strength, and resistance to wrinkles. © 2018 Wiley Periodicals, Inc. J.

The mechanical and thermal characterization of Moringa oleifera fiber and red mud (RM) reinforced chitosan (CS) based hybrid composite is the subject of this research. By varying the percentages of M. oleifera fiber and RM in the hand lay‐up process, seven types of composite samples were developed. Tensile, flexural, compression, and impact testing were performed in accordance with ASTM standards. A scanning electron microscope was used to examine the cracked surfaces of the tested specimens. Hybridization with M. oleifera fiber and RM increased the characteristics of CS composites, according to the findings. Increase in the percentage composition of RM resulted in better mechanical characteristics of fiber‐reinforced composites. C6 type composite revealed maximum tensile strength of 65.59 MPa and impact strength of 24.86 kJ/m2. It also had better dynamic mechanical qualities, while C6 composite had the best static and dynamic mechanical properties. Overall it may be concluded that composites can be utilized in light weight structural applications.
