The present study reports an eco-friendly synthesis of chitosan/zinc oxide (CS/ZnO) nanocomposite using S. lycopersicum leaf extract by a bio-inspired method. The synthesized CS/ZnO nanocomposite was characterized by using UV-visible spectroscopy, X-ray diffraction (XRD), field emission-scanning electron microscopy (FE-SEM), transmission electron microscopy (TEM), energy dispersive X-ray spectroscopy (EDS), fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR) techniques. The XRD analysis revealed wurtzite crystalline structure of CS/ZnO nanocomposite. Electron microscopy images showed agglomeration of CS/ZnO nanocomposite having spherical shaped structure with an average size of 21-47 nm. The observed bands around 400-500 cm(-1) in the IR spectrum indicated the presence of metal-oxygen bond, whereas bands at 1512 and 1745 cm(-1) indicated the presence of amine groups (-NH2) which confirms the presence of CS in the CS/ZnO nanocomposite. The synthesized nanocomposite showed potential antibacterial activity against skin infection causing S. aureus and themechanism of bactericidal activity was confirmed by using FE-SEM. The CS/ZnO nanocomposite incorporated cotton fabrics also exhibited antibacterial activity against S. aureus, B. subtilis and E. coli. Furthermore, CS/ZnO nanocomposite acted as photocatalyst for the degradation of Congo red under sunlight irradiation. In conclusion, as-synthesized CS/ZnO nanocomposite can be used as bactericidal agent in textile industries and also as photocatalyst for dye degradation. (C) 2020 Elsevier B.V. All rights reserved.

Effects of aging and diabetes on the deformation mechanisms and molecular structural characteristics of collagen fibrils under daily activity

Wei-Han Hui, Yen-Lin Chen, Shu-Wei Chang

Summary: Crosslinking affects the mechanical behavior and tissue metabolism of collagen-based tissues. Aging and diabetes alter the crosslinking type and density, thus changing tissue properties. High-connectivity enzymatic crosslinking and advanced-glycation end-products result in uniform deformation under daily activity, while low-connectivity enzymatic crosslinking does not. High-connectivity model displays more sliding, while AGEs induce instability in structures near the binding sites.
