Cross-linking of chitosan and chitosan/poly(ethylene oxide) beads: A theoretical treatment

Adsorption of chromium (VI) by ethylenediamine-modified cross-linked magnetic chitosan resin: Isotherms, kinetics and thermodynamics

“…This method is used to ensure good mechanically and chemically stable beads, but it has been found to have negative effect on the adsorption capacity of the chitosan. The main reason for the loss of adsorption capacity is that amine groups are involved in the cross-linking reaction [7].…”

Adsorption of Hg2+, Cu2+ and Zn2+ ions from aqueous solution using formaldehyde cross-linked modified chitosan–thioglyceraldehyde Schiff's base

“…This method is used to ensure good mechanically and chemically stable beads, but it has been found to have negative effect on the adsorption capacity of the chitosan. The main reason for the loss of adsorption capacity is that amine groups are involved in the cross-linking reaction [15]. The ability of a material to capture metals is controlled in part by the number of available functional groups used for binding metals.…”

Formulation and Optimization of Drug-Resin Complex Loaded Mucoadhesive Chitosan Beads of Repaglinide Using Factorial Design

“…Chitin is extracted from crustaceans and insect shells, algae and certain fungi. The physicochemical and biological properties of CS (such as biodegradability, biocompatibility, non-toxicity, mucoadhesion, absorption enhancement and pH-dependent swelling) are of great interest in the biomedical and pharmaceutical fields (Leticia Martinez et al, 2007).…”
