• Evaluation of different factors affecting antimicrobial properties of chitosan. (2016, background): “b the interaction of diffused hydrolysis products with microbial DNA, which leads to the inhibition of the mRNA and protein synthesis [104,10,19,21,77]; c chitosan also inhibits the microbial growth by the chelation of nutrients and essential metals[104,11,50,51,16]; d chitosan on the surface of the”
• Structures of Novel Antimicrobial Agents for Textiles - A Review (2010, background): “To enable chitosan to bind strongly to cellulose fibers, various crosslinking agents are used, including mostly polycarboxylic acids (1,2,3,4-butantetracarboxylic and citric acids) [60, 66, 67] and derivates of imidazolidinone [59, 64].”
• Recent Advances in Antimicrobial Treatments of Textiles (2008, methodology): “To improve durability, chitosan has been crosslinked to cotton using chemicals such as dimethyloldihydroxyethyleneurea (DMDHEU), citric acid, 1,2,3,4-butanetetracarboxylic acid (BTCA) or glutaric dialdehyde [16, 17, 89, 90].”
