It is important to distinguish between the effects of fertilizers and pesticides on plants and the environment and chitosan’s inherent biocontrol capabilities. A new level of economically advantageous biological control of crops for horticulture and agriculture is represented by chitosan active biopesticides.
The polymer chitosan is likewise made from chitin. It is used in a wide variety of fields, including agriculture, food, and pharmaceuticals. It is a biocompatible and degradable substance. Chitosan is a widely used material in the biomedical industry due to its biocompatibility and biodegradability. It is important in wound dressings because it can aid in the encouragement of wound healing and the reduction of infections. Chitosan is also employed in tissue engineering and drug delivery systems.
One biological adsorbent used to remove heavy metals without harming the environment is chitosan. Due to its characteristics and potential uses, chitosan has attracted a lot of attention. This polymer is the subject of an increasing number of articles and patents each year. Chitosan’s application is constrained in neutral and basic media due to its weak solubility.
Its natural source is a further significant hindrance. Chitosan is a family of molecules with variations in their composition, size, and distribution of monomers rather than a single polymer with a clearly defined structure. The biological and technological performance of the polymer is fundamentally impacted by these characteristics. In hydrology, chitosan can be employed as a filtering agent.
The Canada Chitosan market accounted for $XX Billion in 2023 and is anticipated to reach $XX Billion by 2030, registering a CAGR of XX% from 2024 to 2030.
Microfluidics is a platform technology used by HMC to create chitosan nanoparticles. Ionotrophic gelation is frequently associated with inadequate repeatability and considerable batch-to-batch variability when producing chitosan-based nanoparticles. Microfluidic controlled mixing might be the answer to this problem. Clothing with antibacterial and odor-resisting properties have already been made using chitosan.
Even at extremely low concentrations, chitosan can provide fruits and vegetables an edible coating that is both protective and prolongs life. Chitosan has enormous potential for use as a supplement enhancer and as a means of delivering pharmaceuticals.In the project described here, microfluidics will be used to create chitosan tripolyphosphate nanoparticles with siRNA, mRNA, and -galactosidase as their cargo.
