Studies on electrochemical glucose sensing, antimicrobial activity and cytotoxicity of fabricated copper nanoparticle immobilized chitin nanostructure

Exploration of Chitinous Scaffold-Based Interfaces for Glucose Sensing Assemblies

“…Non-enzyme glucose electrochemical sensor was reported by Solairaj et al, 2017 using copper nanoparticle immobilized CT-nanocomposite (CTNC-CuNP). This study also confirmed that CTNC-CuNPs could be a potential antimicrobial, nontoxic and low cost material to develop sensors [184]. The biodegradable, electro-active CT-NF films were explored for flexible piezoelectric transducers, and their ferroelectric characteristic was confirmed by polarization measurements [183].…”

Cu(ii) immobilized on Fe3O4@HNTs–tetrazole (CFHT) nanocomposite: synthesis, characterization, investigation of its catalytic role for the 1,3 dipolar cycloaddition reaction, and antibacterial activity

“…11 Several hybrid composites have recently been fabricated by immobilizing copper on the organic, inorganic or hybrid compounds and then utilized as efficient catalytic or antibacterial systems. [12][13][14][15][16] MCRs are one-pot methods in which simple initial materials incorporated into the direct manufacture of complex structures. 17,18 Atomic economy, high efficiency, convergence, high bond-forming index are such outstanding features of MCRs.…”

Hybrid cross‐linked hydrogels as a technology platform forinvitrorelease of cephradine

“…The brine shrimp cytotoxicity assay is an inexpensive and simple protocol to evaluate the toxic behavior of different biomaterials and nutraceuticals. Because of the commercial availability and sensitive biological system, freshly hatched larvae of A. Salina are used as the model organism to access the cytotoxicity of a broad range of materials . The cytotoxicity of the five prepared HCHs was measured by counting the number of dead and live shrimps microscopically and calculating the mortality using the formula explained in Section .…”
