“…Therefore, many chemicals including carbonyl generating agents, carbonyl diimidazole, N , N′ ‐disuccinimidyl carbonate, N ‐hydroxysuccinimidyl chloroformate, aldehyde groups like formaldehyde and glutaraldehyde, as well as oxiranes and epoxides such as epichlorohydrin, are generally used as coupling agents to bind hydroxyl groups with amine groups . Although these chemicals can be toxic materials for living organisms with direct use, they can be used in the preparation of biomaterials that will come in contact with living organisms without significantly affecting toxicity as the end products are used after further modification . Amongst the coupling agents, ECH is generally preferred because it can be readily removed from the resultant materials and shows high yield even at low amounts of use and demonstrates good biocompatibility of the end‐products .…”

Halloysite nanotube (HNT), a natural clay, was modified with branched polyethyleneimine (PEI) to form PEI‐HNT using epichlorohydrin (ECH) as coupling agent, then protonated with HCl to obtain H‐PEI‐HNTs providing [NH3]+[Cl]− functionality for potential antimicrobial properties. Upon PEI modification, zeta potential value of HNTs was increased to +37.3 mV from −34.5 mV and to +41.1 mV for H‐PEI‐HNTs. Only 1.87 wt % H‐element in HNT was increased to 3.03 wt % upon PEI modification along with newly generated elements of N and C at 2.99 and 9.93 wt %, respectively. Moreover, ionic liquid (IL) forms of HNTs with [NH3]+[N(CN)2]−, [NH3]+[PF6]− and [NH3]+[BF4]− functionality were generated via anion exchange of H‐PEI‐HNTs with sodium dicyanamide (SDC), ammonium hexafluorophosphate (AHFP), and sodium tetrafluoroborate (STFB). The antimicrobial properties of the modified, protonated, and IL forms of HNTs were determined via macro dilution, diffusion and agar screening tests against Escherichia coli ATCC 8739, Pseudomonas aeruginosa ATCC 10145, Bacillus subtilis ATCC 6633, Staphylococcus aureus ATCC 6538 strains, and Candida albicans ATCC 10231 strains. It was found that H‐PEI‐HNTs possesses potent antimicrobial effect compared with the other forms of HNTs with 2–4 mg mL−1 MIC and 8–16 mg mL−1 MBC values via the macro dilution method. © 2019 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.

“…Chitin is the second abundant naturally synthesized polysaccharide biopolymer after cellulose (Croisier and Jérôme, 2013;Barikani et al, 2014;Zhu et al, 2019). It constitutes a considerable quantity of the exoskeleton (shell) construction of crustaceans (Borić et al, 2020).…”

“…Chitin is vital and renewable natural resource (Agboh and Qin, 1997;Ma et al, 2020). Exoskeleton extracted chitin and its derivatives have a wide range of applications due to its biocompatibility (Barikani et al, 2014), biodegradability (Zhu et al, 2019), antimicrobial and antioxidative properties (Ahmad et al, 2020) and reactivity (Younes and Rinaudo, 2015). However, its sources still disposed in the environment in large quantities (Kumar et al, 2018).…”

Capture fisheries is the utilization of the usable aquatic organisms by the public with or without permissions (El-Sayed, 2006). Aquaculture is the farming of marine and freshwater organisms under controlled conditions. It is a highly growing food production sector (Ahmed and Thompson, 2019). Its global production of fish in 2018 was approximately 179 million tons (FAO, 2020). Farmed Fish are a chief source of food for poor people (Stead, 2019). It is a cheap form of animal protein (Nölle et al., 2020). Due to overfishing, fisheries stock worldwide is largely exploited. As the aquaculture become the main source to cope the fish demand, there is an awareness to increase its productivity with the increase of human population (Tidwell and Allan, 2001; Gephart et al., 2020). Tilapia is regarded as the second most farmed fish all-over the world ARTICLE INFO

Sustainable materials fabricated from natural polymers have attracted much attentions because of their multiple advantages like abundant renewable resource, biocompatibility, biodegradability, and nontoxicity, while their actually application often restricted by mechanical properties. Chemical crosslinking method was usually used to improve the mechanical properties of cellulose materials such as hydrogel, film, aerogel, and so forth. Here, cellulose fibers were fabricated from cellulose solution in alkali/urea aqueous solvent by chemical crosslinking with epichlorohydrin in a PVC hose. The chemical crosslinked cellulose fibers exhibited smooth surface and circular cross-section.Their tensile strength increased from 128 to 368 MPa by adjusting cellulose concentration, ECH concentration, and draw ratio. The crystallinity of the fibers changed from 43.1% to 49.8% after drawing process. Meanwhile, the fibers exhibited a brighter color after dyeing than the viscose rayon. This work promising an avenue for preparation of mechanical strong cellulose fibers.
