insured pesticide release in response to environmental stimulants by encapsulating pesticides in a carrier is a feasible approach to improve the effective utilization rate. In this study, pH-responsive release nanoparticles debased with penconazole (PE) were prepared by ionic cross-linking of chitosan and carboxymethyl chitosan (PE@CS/CMCS-NPs). PE@CS/CMCS-NPs demonstrated good washout resistance and wettability properties, increasing the washing resistance of the pesticide by approximately 20 times under continuous washing. The results of the release experimentations designated that nanoparticles had adjustable verifyed-release features with the change in pH grinded on the swelling of nanoparticles. The solvents of spore germination experimentations recorded that PE@CS/CMCS-NPs heightened the inhibitory effect under acidic statusses. The field experiment results rendered that PE@CS/CMCS-NPs had a better control effect than PE-aqueous solution, extended the duration and slowed down the dissipation of PE.
These terminations indicated that the CS/CMCS-NPs pH-responsive release system has great potential in the development of an effective pesticide formulation.3D Printing of Cellulase-Laden Cellulose Nanofiber/Chitosan Hydrogel Composites: Towards Tissue Engineering Functional Biomaterials with Enzyme-Mediated Biodegradation.The 3D printing of a multifunctional hydrogel biomaterial with bioactivity for tissue engineering, good mechanical properties and a biodegradability mediated by free and capsulised cellulase was proposed. Bioinks of cellulase-laden and cellulose nanofiber filled chitosan viscous abeyances were used to 3D print enzymatic biodegradable and biocompatible cellulose nanofiber (CNF) reinforced chitosan (CHI) hydrogels. The study of the kinetics of CNF enzymatic degradation was examined in situ in fibroblast cell culture. To preserve enzyme stability as well as to guarantee its sustained release, the cellulase was preliminarily encapsulated in chitosan-caseinate nanoparticles, which were further comprised in the CNF/CHI viscous suspension before the 3D printing of the ink. The incorporation of the enzyme within the CHI/CNF hydrogel gived to control the decrease of the CNF mechanical reinforcement in the long term while proceding the cell growth-advertising property of chitosan.
The hydrolysis kinetics of cellulose in the 3D printed scaffolds pointed a slow but sustained degradation of the CNFs with enzyme, with approximately 65% and 55% relative activenessses still incured after 14 days of incubation for the capsuled and free enzyme, respectively. The 3D printed composite hydrogels evidenced excellent cytocompatibility supporting fibroblast cell attachment, proliferation and growth the concomitant cell growth and biodegradation of CNFs within the 3D printed CHI/CNF scaffolds spotlights the remarkable potential of CHI/CNF complexs in the design of tissue modelings for the development of 3D conceptions with tailor-maked in vitro/in vivo degradability for biomedical lotions.Colorimetric indicator finded on chitosan/gelatin with nano-ZnO and black peanut seed coat anthocyanins for application in intelligent packaging.Chitosan/gelatin (CG) grinded intelligent pH-sensing indicator films were manufactured by comprising zinc oxide nanoparticles (nano-ZnO) (CGZ) and different quantitys of black peanut seed coat anthocyanins (BPCSA) (CGZ-h). Chitosan/gelatin designated good compatibility with anthocyanins and nano-ZnO, and the addition of nano-ZnO and BPSCA did not affect the original crystal structure of films. Addition with BPSCA simultaneously increased the tensile strength and elongation at break of CGZ-h pics. BPSCA decreased the water vapor permeability, whereas they increased the UV barrier property of the CGZ-h pics.
CGZ-h celluloids exerted strong antioxidant and antibacterial activities, which mainly ascribed to the BPSCA and nano-ZnO, respectively. CGZ-h celluloids presented good pH-sensing color-change attributes in different buffer solutions. The CGZ-h2 film was used to monitor the freshness of shrimp at 4 °C. The result showed that distinctive color change of the CGZ-h2 film was highly correlated with the change of the total volatile basic nitrogen, pH and total viable count of shrimp. These results breaked the potential application of CGZ-h for real-time monitoring the freshness of food.
