Abstract

The requirements for biobased materials for various applications have grown over the past decade in view of various performance and environmental aspects. Chitosan is one of the versatile biopolymers that has gained significant attention owing to its biocompatibility, biodegradability, and non-toxicity. Tunable optical properties, inherent bioactivity and film-forming capability with good adhesion strength demonstrate its significant potential for a wide array of industrial and biomedical applications. To modulate and enhance the physicochemical properties of chitosan, strategies such as blending with other polymers and incorporating nanofillers are widely adopted. This article presents a comprehensive updated review of the fundamental structure, functional modification, characterization, processing and applications of chitosan. Additionally, the latest efforts in enhancing the performance of chitosan and the mechanistic action behind the improvements in properties are discussed. Future directions for innovative and sustainable chitosan-based biomaterials are outlined in this review.

期刊介绍： "Polymer Bulletin" is a comprehensive academic journal on polymer science founded in 1988. It was founded under the initiative of the late Mr. Wang Baoren, a famous Chinese chemist and educator. This journal is co-sponsored by the Chinese Chemical Society, the Institute of Chemistry, and the Chinese Academy of Sciences and is supervised by the China Association for Science and Technology. It is a core journal and is publicly distributed at home and abroad. "Polymer Bulletin" is a monthly magazine with multiple columns, including a project application guide, outlook, review, research papers, highlight reviews, polymer education and teaching, information sharing, interviews, polymer science popularization, etc. The journal is included in the CSCD Chinese Science Citation Database. It serves as the source journal for Chinese scientific and technological paper statistics and the source journal of Peking University's "Overview of Chinese Core Journals."
