Preparation of high-strength, colored and multifunctional chitosan fibers via a novel strategy of enzyme-catalyzed phenolic-amine crosslinking within chitosan fibers in a swollen state.

This study prepared high-strength, colored and multifunctional polyphenol-chitosan fibers via a novel strategy of laccase-mediated phenolic-amine crosslinking within chitosan fibers in a swollen state. A dense covalent network within the fiber was formed through Michael addition and Schiff base reactions. Compared to u...
