A New Strategy to Reduce Hospital-Acquired Infections - Biodegradable Antibacterial Nanostructured Coatings

Healthcare-associated infections (HAIs) remain a major global challenge. Pathogenic microorganisms can persist for extended periods on high-touch surfaces, contributing to the spread of infections in clinical environments. Conventional cleaning and disinfection procedures provide only temporary protection, creating a growing demand for materials capable of delivering continuous antimicrobial activity directly at the surface.

Chitosan as a Sustainable Material for Implantable Sensors and Bioelectronic Applications

The growing demand for sustainable materials in medical technology has led to increased interest in bio-based polymers. A recent publication in RSC Sustainability highlights chitosan as a highly promising material for implantable sensors and bioelectronic systems. Its biocompatibility, functional amino groups, and tunable mechanical and electrical properties make chitosan particularly attractive for next generation biomedical devices.

Sustainable building blocks for tomorrow's energy storage - Chitosan in the cycle of the future

As electromobility, renewable energy systems, and portable electronics continue to grow, the demand for efficient energy storage technologies is increasing rapidly. However, performance alone is no longer sufficient. The environmental footprint of batteries and supercapacitors is becoming a decisive factor. The future of energy storage must be not only powerful, but also sustainable, recyclable, and resource-efficient.

Smart Chitosan-Based Hydrogel for Sustained Peptide Delivery

Preclinical Development of a Depot System for the Neurotherapeutic Peptide NX210c

Therapeutic peptides occupy a unique position in modern drug development. They combine high biological specificity with comparatively low toxicity and favorable tissue penetration. However, their clinical application is often limited by rapid in vivo degradation and short systemic half-life.
