Abstract

Chitosan, a versatile alkaline polysaccharide rich in amine and hydroxyl groups, has garnered significant research interest due to its abundance, low toxicity, biodegradability, and antibacterial properties. With rising concerns over energy scarcity and environmental pollution from fossil fuels, chitosan-based composites offer a promising solution for sustainable development. The unique coordination chemistry of chitosan enables it to form stable composites with various functional materials, enhancing its properties and broadening its applications, particularly in advancing a circular economy. This review provides a comprehensive overview of chitosan extraction and modification techniques, focusing on its applications in environmental remediation, energy conversion and storage, and biomedicine. We begin with an overview of common extraction and modification methods for chitosan, followed by an in-depth analysis of preparation techniques and operational parameters that influence the material properties and performance of chitosan-based composites in specific applications. This review presents the most thorough analysis to date, utilizing a novel classification framework to help readers systematically grasp the latest research developments. Additionally, we assess the economic and environmental impacts of chitosan-based composite applications, offering insights into their feasibility. Finally, we summarize the challenges and future directions for chitosan-based composites, providing valuable guidance for practitioners and decision-makers.

期刊介绍： Progress in Materials Science is a journal that publishes authoritative and critical reviews of recent advances in the science of materials. The focus of the journal is on the fundamental aspects of materials science, particularly those concerning microstructure and nanostructure and their relationship to properties. Emphasis is also placed on the thermodynamics, kinetics, mechanisms, and modeling of processes within materials, as well as the understanding of material properties in engineering and other applications. The journal welcomes reviews from authors who are active leaders in the field of materials science and have a strong scientific track record. Materials of interest include metallic, ceramic, polymeric, biological, medical, and composite materials in all forms. Manuscripts submitted to Progress in Materials Science are generally longer than those found in other research journals. While the focus is on invited reviews, interested authors may submit a proposal for consideration. Non-invited manuscripts are required to be preceded by the submission of a proposal. Authors publishing in Progress in Materials Science have the option to publish their research via subscription or open access. Open access publication requires the author or research funder to meet a publication fee (APC). Abstracting and indexing services for Progress in Materials Science include Current Contents, Science Citation Index Expanded, Materials Science Citation Index, Chemical Abstracts, Engineering Index, INSPEC, and Scopus.
