Amongst the natural polymers, chitin is the second most abundant, present mainly in fungi
and exoskeleton of crustaceans. It forms a major part of the seafood waste as compiled and …

In recent years, nanotechnology has attracted attention in many fields because it has several
up-and-coming novel uses. Many researchers have suggested that chitosan nanoparticles …

This review gives an updated overview of the current state-of-the-art for antimicrobial
chitosan and chitosan derivatives and the effects of structural modifications on activity and …

Owing to its high biodegradability, and nontoxicity and antimicrobial properties, chitosan is
widely-used as an antimicrobial agent either alone or blended with other natural polymers …

The increasing resistance of pathogen fungi poses a global public concern. There are
several limitations in current antifungals, including few available fungicides, severe toxicity …

Sodium alginate (Na-Alg) is water-soluble, neutral, and linear polysaccharide. It is the
derivative of alginic acid which comprises 1, 4-β-d-mannuronic (M) and α-l-guluronic (G) …

Chitosan (CS) is a linear polysaccharide with good biodegradability, biocompatibility and
antimicrobial activity, which makes it potentially useful for biomedical applications, including …

Chitosan is a linear polysaccharide with a good biodegradability, biocompatibility, and no
toxicity, which provide it with huge potential for future development. The chitosan molecule …

Cationic polymers are promising antibacterial agents because bacteria have a low
propensity to develop resistance against them, but they usually have low biocompatibility …

Chitosan, a polymer obtained by deacetylation of chitin is widely studied for its
pharmaceutical and nonpharmaceutical applications. Recommendations about uses of this …
