Comment on "Fungal-derived chitosan-based hydrogels with antimicrobial properties for infectious wound healing". The structure of aldehyde-modified chitosan is unclear.
Zhou et al. (https://doi.org/10.1016/j.carbpol.2025.123917) employed fungal-derived chitosan to synthesize guanidinium-functionalized chitosan (GCS) and aldehyde-modified chitosan (ACS) for Schiff-base hydrogel formation. For completeness, it would be valuable to clarify whether ACS might undergo any self-crosslinking or self-gelation under the conditions used, and to discuss its specific suitability as the aldehyde donor within the Schiff-base network. This comment underscores the importance of a more precise structural definition of ACS, especially concerning its function in the Schiff-base reaction. A thorough structural characterization-ideally via comprehensive NMR analysis-will verify the degree of modification and clarify its exact role in the crosslinking mechanism.
期刊介绍:
Carbohydrate Polymers stands as a prominent journal in the glycoscience field, dedicated to exploring and harnessing the potential of polysaccharides with applications spanning bioenergy, bioplastics, biomaterials, biorefining, chemistry, drug delivery, food, health, nanotechnology, packaging, paper, pharmaceuticals, medicine, oil recovery, textiles, tissue engineering, wood, and various aspects of glycoscience.
The journal emphasizes the central role of well-characterized carbohydrate polymers, highlighting their significance as the primary focus rather than a peripheral topic. Each paper must prominently feature at least one named carbohydrate polymer, evident in both citation and title, with a commitment to innovative research that advances scientific knowledge.
