A Review on Nanomaterial: Chitosan
Journal Title: International journal of Emerging Trends in Science and Technology - Year 2015, Vol 2, Issue 1
Abstract
Nanotechnology is gaining importance rapidly as a most powerful technology. Its immense potential promises the possibility of significant changes in near term future, once the most essential machines -called the Universal Assembler and the Nanocomputer are built. The present paper aims to reviews the previous work done and recent advancements in the field of nanotechnology. Today the products made using nanomaterials having general as well as special applications like treating cancer, phosgene detection, energy harvesting for self powered nanosystems, chip fabrication, batteries, aerospace materials etc. Chitosan and its oligosaccharides, which are known to possess multiple functional properties, have attracted considerable interest due to their biological activities and potential applications in the food, pharmaceutical, agricultural and environmental industries. Many researchers have focused on chitosan as a potential source of bioactive materials in the past few decades. This review focuses on the biological activities of chitosan and chitooligosaccharides based on our and others’ latest research results
