Chitosan-benzofuran adduct for potential biomedical applications: Improved antibacterial and antifungal properties

Chitosan-benzofuran adduct showed better antifungal and antibacterial properties compared to chitosan or benzofuran alone. The new polymer hydrogel has been characterized using FTIR, SEM, DSC, TGA and XRD. FTIR proved the formation of Schiff’s base reaction at 1632 cm−1, between the chitosan’s amino...
