Silane-mediated network formation in chitosan: Viscoelasticity, porosity, and gravity-driven selective water transport with broad-spectrum antibacterial activity.

Chitosan gels possess intrinsic hydrophilicity, biocompatibility, and antibacterial characteristics, but their practical use in aqueous separation is often limited by insufficient network stability and the difficulty of combining mechanical integrity with dynamic functionality. In this work, a 3-Aminopropyltriethoxysil...
