Article Abstract
Chitosan-based hydrogels (CSH) are promising materials for healthcare. Based on the relationship among structure, property and application, researches reported within last decade are chosen to elucidate the developing approaches and potential applications of target CSH. The applications of CSH are classified into the conventional biomedical fields, such as drug controlled release, tissue repair and monitoring, and the essential ones including food safety, water purification and air cleaning. The approaches focused on in this article are the reversible chemical and physical ones. Apart from describing the current status of the development, suggestions are presented as well.

Constructing a novel antibacterial platform is of great significance for inhibiting bacterial infections. In this work, we developed a composite hydrogel (CS/PPy/PDA hydrogel) by incorporating photothermal material polypyrrole (PPy), chitosan (CS) and polydopamine (PDA) into poly acrylamide (PAAM) hydrogel network. First, CS/PPy/PDA hydrogel could capture bacteria through strong electrostatic interactions, enhancing the contact between hydrogels and bacteria.

The recent emergence and global spread of the mpox virus (MPXV), formerly known as the monkeypox virus, underscores the urgent need for effective antiviral materials to combat this emerging zoonotic pathogen. This study evaluates the antiviral activity of five functional material films against vaccinia virus, a representative model of MPXV, by the TCID50 assay. The tested materials include two electrospun polyester fabrics functionalised with benzalkonium chloride (BAK) or soap, specifically designed for antiviral face masks.
