Nanorods of Well-Defined Length and Monodisperse Cross-Section Obtained from Electrostatic Complexation of Nanoparticles with a Semiflexible Biopolymer [PDF]

, 2012
We show by combining small-angle X-ray scattering (SAXS) and cryo-transmission electron microscopy (cryo-TEM) that anionic silica nanoparticles (SiNPs) assemble into well-defined 1D cluster when mixed with a dilute solution of semiflexible chitosan ...

Enhancing the Antibacterial Properties of Chitosan Coatings: Ag@Chitosan and Chitosan from Insects

Coatings
In this study, the electrophoretic deposition (EPD) technique was used to prepare chitosan-based coatings with enhanced antibacterial activity suitable for bone implant applications. We designed, prepared, and compared the physico-chemical and biological properties of coatings obtained with commercial chitosan, chitosan enriched with silver ...

Silicified Wood‐Inspired, High‐Strength Fire‐Resistant Chitin‐Based Aerogels for Sustainable High‐Temperature Thermal Insulation

Advanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.
Inspired by natural silicified wood, a biomimetic mineralized chitin‐derived aerogel is constructed. It can withstand 81 000 times its own weight, and its backside temperature is 130.4°C after exposure to ∼1300°C butane flame for 600 s, exhibiting high‐strength, fire‐resistance, and super thermal‐insulation properties.
