Abstract: Titanium dioxide nanoparticle (TiO2 NP) is one the most highly sought-after nanomaterials and are prevalent in many consumer products such as personal care products, paints and coatings, and food colouring. However, their pervasive use and high demand are expected to adversely affect organisms and ecosystems. Several articles suggest that surface modification of TiO2 with appropriate materials could mitigate its negative impacts. To facilitate this, we utilised chitosan (CS), a naturally occurring biopolymer, … Show more
