Chitosan-based Bi-nanocomposites for oral drug overdose remediation: A critical review of polysaccharide properties, adsorption mechanisms, and clinical translation pathways.
Chitosan, a pH-sensitive cationic biopolymer possessing reactive amino groups (pKa 6.3), good biocompatibility, and functionalizability, makes an excellent adsorbent for biomedical application. Its combination with water hyacinth activated carbon through cross-linking provides synergistic adsorption that could be used...
