To address the need to develop improved hybrid biopolymer composites, we report on the preparation of composites that contain chitosan and pectin biopolymers with tunable adsorption properties. Binary biopolymer composites were prepared at variable pectin–chitosan composition in a solvent directed synthesis, dimethyl sulfoxide (DMSO) versus water. The materials were characterized using complementary methods (infrared spectroscopy, thermal gravimetric analysis, pH at the point-of-zero charge, and dye-based adsorption isotherms). Pectin and chitosan composites prepared in DMSO yielded a covalent biopolymer framework (CBF), whereas a polyelectrolyte complex (PEC) was formed in water. The materials characterization provided support that cross-linking occurs between amine groups of chitosan and the –COOH groups of pectin. CBF-based composites had a greater uptake of methylene blue (MB) dye over the PEC-based composites. Composites prepared in DMSO were inferred to have secondary adsorption sites for enhanced MB uptake, as evidenced by a monolayer uptake capacity that exceeded the pectin–chitosan PECs by 1.5-fold. This work provides insight on the role of solvent-dependent cross-linking of pectin and chitosan biopolymers. Sonication-assisted reactions in DMSO favor CBFs, while cross-linking in water yields PECs. Herein, composites with tunable structures and variable physicochemical properties are demonstrated by their unique dye adsorption properties in aqueous media.

Starch as the material, MBAA as the cross-linking agent, Tween60 and Span60 as the emulsifier, K2S2O8-Na2SO4 as the initiator, the cyclohexane as the oil phase and the removal rate of methyl violet as an index, crosslinked starch microspheres (CSM) was synthetized by means of reverse suspension emulsion and graft-copolymerization method through orthogonal test and single factor optimization experiment. The results showed the optimal conditions of the preparation of the crosslinked starch microspheres(CSM) were as follow: the concentration of the starch is 5%, the dosage of the MBAA, initiator and emulsifier are 0.125g, 0.5g and 0.6g, the volume ratios between the Span60 and Tween60 is 85:15, and the volume ratio between the cyclohexane and water is 4:1.

In this work, Ni and SnO2loaded Chitosan nanomaterials are prepared by neutralization method, obtained by drop wise addition of Chitosan solution to a solution of NaOH, followed by cross-linking. The Structural, morphological and Raman analyses are carried out. The antibacterial activity is analysed against Staphylococcus aureus, Escherichia coli and Pseudomonas aeruginosa and evaluated by the calculation of minimum inhibitory concentration (MIC) and minimum bactericidal concentration (MBC). The obtained results show that, Ni-loaded nanoparticles could inhibit the growth of various bacteria better than SnO2. These results revealed that, the exposure of Staphylococcus aureus to the Chitosan nanoparticles led to the disruption of cell membranes and the leakage of cytoplasm.

This study focused on a comparison of the adsorption properties of graphene oxide (GO) and its composites that were prepared via cross-linking with chitosan (CTS) or Al3+ species, respectively. Comparative material characterization was achieved by several complementary methods: SEM, NMR spectroscopy, zeta-potential, dye-based adsorption, and gas adsorption at equilibrium and dynamic conditions. SEM, solids NMR, and zeta-potential results provided supporting evidence for cross-linking between GO and the respective cross-linker units. The zeta-potential of GO composites decreased upon cross-linking due to electrostatic interactions and charge neutralization. Equilibrium and kinetic adsorption profiles of the GO composites with methylene blue (MB) in aqueous media revealed superior uptake over pristine GO. The monolayer adsorption capacity (mg g−1) of MB are listed in descending order for each material: GO–CTS (408.6) > GO–Al (351.4) > GO (267.1). The gas adsorption results showed parallel trends, where the surface area and pore structure of the composites exceeded that for GO due to pillaring effects upon cross-linking. The green strategy reported herein for the preparation of tunable GO-based composites revealed versatile adsorption properties for diverse heterogeneous adsorption processes.
