Structure-property relationships in phenolic acid-chitosan complexes: From molecular interactions to multifunctional bioactivities.
Phenolic acid-chitosan complexes combine the antioxidant capacity of phenolic acids with the antibacterial activity of chitosan; however, their study has received limited attention due to challenges in synthesis. In this work, a selection of phenolic acids-4-hydroxybenzoic acid (HA), protocatechuic acid (PA), vanillic...
