Due to the advantages of both the chitosan and the nanomaterial, chitosan nanoparticle has a broad application in a lot of fields, such as medicine carrier, food process, cosmetics and agriculture protect. And there also appears a lot of research about chitosan nanoparticle in textile finishing in recent years. In former research, steady state chitosan nanoparticles were prepared by ionotropic gelation method in dispersion system. In this paper, in order to confirm the preparation of low molecular weight chitosan nanoparticle, it was also characterized by Fourier Transform Infrared (FT-IR) Spectrometry, X-ray diffraction (XRD) and Transmission Electron Microscope (TEM). Focusing on the application value, chitosan nanoparticles dispersion solution were used as one kind of textile finishing agent to modifyB.morisilk fabrics in order to realize the functionalization of silk fabrics. The wrinkle resistance and bacteria repellency of silk fabrics were tested in the paper. The results showed that chitosan nanoparticles were successfully prepared and confirmed accrording to the XRD, FT-IR and TEM tests. In addition, compared with the ordinaryB. morisilk fabric and theB. morisilk fabric treated with chitosan accordingly, theB. morisilk fabrics treated with chitosan nanoparticle dispersion system had better wrinkle resistance and bacteria repellency.

Hydrocortisone (HC) has formed the mainstay for the management of atopic dermatitis. Hence, HC-loaded chitosan nanoparticles were prepared by ionic crosslinking of high, low molecular weight chitosan (HMwt, LMwt CS) and N-trimethyl chitosan (TMC) with tripolyphosphate. HC loading into CS nanoparticles was confirmed by FT-IR. The particle size of HC-loaded HMwt, LMwt, and TMC nanoparticles was increased from243±12,147±11,and124±9 nm to337±13,222±14,and195±7 nm, respectively, by increasing the pH of CS solution. Their respective zeta potential and entrapment efficiency (EE) were significantly decreased by increasing the pH of CS solution. The swelling ratios of HC loaded HMwt, LMwt, and TMC NPs were increased when the pH of incubating media (PBS) was increased. The same increasing trend was observed in particle size and EE of HC loaded as the CS concentration was increased. The HC loaded CS NPs were generally nonspherical.In-vitropermeation studies showed that HC was efficiently released from the CS NPs in QV cream while in aqueous cream CS NPs provided a sustained release for HC. Thus, it is anticipated that CS NPs are the promising delivery system for anti-inflammatory drugs.

Bromelain, a set of proteolytic enzymes potential pharmaceutical applications, was encapsulated in chitosan nanoparticles to enhance enzyme stability, and the effect of different chitosan sources was evaluated. Chitosan types (i.e., low molecular weight chitosan, chitosan oligosaccharide lactate, and chitosan from shrimp shells) produced nanoparticles with different physicochemical properties, however in all cases, particle size and zeta potential decreased, and polydispersity index increased after bromelain addition. Bromelain encapsulation was higher than 84% and 79% for protein content and enzymatic activity, respectively, with low molecular weight chitosan presenting the highest encapsulation efficiency. Nanoparticle suspension was also tested for accelerated stability and rheological behavior. For the chitosan–bromelain nanoparticles, an instability index below 0.3 was recorded and, in general, the loading of bromelain in chitosan nanoparticles decreased the cohesiveness of the final suspension.

It is of perfect anti-crease effect that using sericin finishing agent in finishing of silk fabric. Analyzed integration test of wrinkle resistance of silk fabric, the optimally applied parameters are obtained as follows, the dosage of sericin is 15g/L, the concentration of TEA is 8g/L, twice dip and twice rolling, drying, baking in 3 minutes at 150 °C. The wrinkle recovery angle has been increased obviously after sericin finishing. Also the performance of anti-crease resistance can be improved effectively by adding 3g/L of sodium hypophosphite. The phenomena of increased solvent viscosity and activation energy of thermal decomposition were shown that the cross-linking structure were formed in the fiber with the using of sericin finishing, thereby the wrinkle resistance of the fabric was improved. Sericin finishing agent can increased the wrinkle resistant properties of fabrics effectively.

The chitosan nanoparticles can be prepared by ionotropic gelation method in dispersion system. Chitosan nanoparticle has advantages of both the chitosan and the nano particles, and so it has a wide application in the textile finishing field. In this paper, the effects of the concentration of TPP, Span-80, deposited time and pH value on the diameter distribution of the chitosan nanoparticles are discussed in order to obtain the optimized preparation technics of steady state chitosan nanoparticle. The results show that chitosan nanoparticles are successfully prepared by ionotropic gelation method. Under the optimized preparation technics, chitosan nanoparticles disperse homogeneously in the system and have a good steady state. The average diameter of chitosan nanoparticle in the dispersion system is 20.82nm. Compared with the ordinary silk fabric, the B. mori silk fabric treated with chitosan nanoparticle dispersion system has better deepen effect of reactive dyes. The chitosan nanopartilce dispersion system is helpful to improve the dye uptake and dye fixation of silk fabrics.

In this study, we prepared using low molecular weight water-soluble chitosan nanoparticle loaded paclitaxel (LMWSC-NPT) and investigated the potential as a drug carrier which is able to accumulate in the tumor site. In the experiment of receptor-mediated endocytosis, LMWSC-NPT was treated with sodium azid (NaN3) as an inhibitor of endocytosis process. As results, the antitumor activity of LMWSC-NPT treated with sodium azid didn’t show but LMWSC-NPT was shown the high antitumor activity. Therefore, LMWSC-NPs modified with hydrophobic group will be useful anticancer agent carrier via receptor-mediated endocytosis.
