20.500.12556/DKUM-87106 Cellulose–chitosan functional biocomposites Here, we present a detailed review of recent research and achievements in the field of combining two extremely important polysaccharides; namely, cellulose and chitosan. The most important properties of the two polysaccharides are outlined, giving rise to the interest in their combination. We present various structures and forms of composite materials that have been developed recently. Thus, aerogels, hydrogels, films, foams, membranes, fibres, and nanofibres are discussed, alongside the main techniques for their fabrication, such as coextrusion, co-casting, electrospinning, coating, and adsorption. It is shown that the combination of bacterial cellulose with chitosan has recently gained increasing attention. This is particularly attractive, because both are representative of a biopolymer that is biodegradable and friendly to humans and the environment. The rising standard of living and growing environmental awareness are the driving forces for the development of these materials. In this review, we have shown that the field of combining these two extraordinary polysaccharides is an inexhaustible source of ideas and opportunities for the development of advanced functional materials. biocomposites functional materials cellulose–chitosan fibers films hydrogels nanofibers biokompoziti funkcionalni materiali celuloza-hitozan vlakna filmi hidrogeli nanovlakna true false true MDPI Angleški jezik Slovenski jezik https://www.mdpi.com/journal/polymers Članek v reviji 2024-02-19 14:36:45 2024-02-19 14:46:13 2024-04-11 13:52:15 0000-00-00 00:00:00 2023 0 0 Str. 1-27 Št. 2, št. članka 425 Letn. 15 Jan. 2023 0000-00-00 Zaloznikova Objavljeno NiDoloceno 2022-12-09 2023-01-08 2023-01-13 677.46:620.3 139260675 10.3390/polym15020425 2073-4360 Strnad-2023-Cellulose-Chitosan_Functional_Bioc.pdf Strnad-2023-Cellulose-Chitosan_Functional_Bioc.pdf 1 7859534AE189079C4AD5F5E9D6C27FD0 b7debc69a98fe42ef98680ce95ff7fb6caa497122220b34d45e8ac62efb3a636 1e482519-cf2d-11ee-afa3-00155d000105 https://dk.um.si/Dokument.php?lang=slv&id=176275 https://doi.org/10.3390/polym15020425 0 2cee9d79-cf2d-11ee-afa3-00155d000105 https://dk.um.si/Dokument.php?lang=slv&id=176276 Fakulteta za strojništvo 0 0 0
