The wetting properties of chitosan (Ch) and single 1,2-dipalmitoylsn-glycero-3-phosphocholine (DPPC), cholesterol (Chol) and binary DPPC-Chol layers deposited onto polyethylene terephthalate activated by low-temperature air plasma (PETair) were examined. PET is widely used in tissue engineering, but its low hydrophilicity limits its integration with the surrounding tissues. Ch is a biocompatible polysaccharide, distinguished by its antimicrobial properties, widely distributed in medicine. DPPC and Chol are the major building components of cell membrane, so they can perfectly mimic membrane behaviour during contact with the Ch layer. Monolayers of lipids were deposited onto PETair with or without the Ch layer using the Langmuir-Blodgett technique. The total surface free energy (SFE)and its components changes were calculated from theoretical approaches. Wettability strongly depended on the monolayer composition as well as the Ch layer. The Ch film decreased the contact angle and increased SFE of the PET surface with the lipid monolayers due to specific organisation of molecules within the chitosan scaffold. The most promising combination of surface modification for tissue engineering applications seems to be the PETair/Ch/DPPC-Chol system.

Food edible coatings are an important milestone in food production and one of the innovations in food packaging development. This article presents materials on the development of the formulation and technology for the manufacture of a novel composite coating based on sodium alginate, chitosan and protein hydrolysate obtained by the electrochemical method of double extraction from cod processing waste to obtain edible coatings for semi-finished fish products. Furthermore, the physicochemical, physical, mechanical and microbiological properties of this material are described.

The aim of this study was to develop a technical process and composition of mucoadhesive hydrogels containing benzocaine, based on different concentration ratios of the natural polymers chitosan and xanthan gum. For this purpose, lyophilisates of polymeric complexes with the quantitative ratios of 0.5:1, 1:1 and 1:0.5 chitosan to xanthan gum were prepared and subsequently used to prepare hydrogels of various concentrations. The physicochemical properties and pharmaceutical availability of benzocaine were evaluated and diffractograms and Fourier-transform infrared spectra of individual polymers and their polyelectrolyte complexes were compared. The 1:1 formulation exhibited the highest water absorption capacity and the gels showed the highest viscosity and the shortest blurring times. More chitosan increased carrier texture parameters, including hardness, cohesiveness and consistency, whereas more xanthan gum led to the longest gel blurring times and improved carrier stability. The concentration ratio of chitosan to xanthan gum in lyophilisates determined the viscosity, texture, spreadability and blurring time of the gels. Increases in lyophilisate percentage in the gels also affected the physicochemical properties of the carrier. In addition, the proportions of polymers in the mixture did not influence the availability of the drug from the prepared gel; this factor appears to depend more on the lyophilisate content in the carrier. Variations in the ratio of chitosan to xanthan gum in the polymer complex as well as lyophilisate percentage in the gel may impact the properties of the hydrogel and its efficacy as a carrier for therapeutic substances administered to the oral cavity mucosa.

This review considers articles on the formation of hydrogels based on chitosan as well as succinylated and quaternized chitosan derivatives. They are synthesized using low toxicity reagents, under ordinary conditions (low production costs). Chitosan derivatives are soluble in an extended range of pH values and characterized by mucoadhesiveness, bioavailability and biodegradability, which extends the potential of their medical applications. One of the most important properties of chitosan and its derivatives is the ability to form hydrogels. Depending on the nature of the bonds that occur during formation, hydrogels are divided into chemically or physically crosslinked, or a mixture of the two. Chemically crosslinked gels have covalent bonds, while physically crosslinked gels are formed by noncovalent interactions, for example, ionic. Mixed hydrogels have both types of crosslinking.
