Abstract:Chitosan exhibits remarkable broad-spectrum antibacterial activity, especially in acidic environments. However, its poor solubility in water and significantly decreased antibacterial performance after membrane formation greatly limit its extensive application. To address this issue, glycol chitosan-4-pyridylcarboxaldehydeborneol (GCBP) was synthesized by conjugating glycol chitosan (GC) with 4-pyridylcarboxaldehydeborneol ester (BP) through dynamic Schiff base bonds utilizing a layer-by-layer self-assembly str… Show more
