Wet Strength and Antibacterial Performance of Cellulosic Paper Induced by Maleic Anhydride-Acylated Chitosan
Paper sheets were dipped in maleic anhydride-acylated chitosan (MAAC) to enhance their wet strength and antibacterial performance. The wet strength of paper sheets treated with MAAC or chitosan solutions and cured at 90 and 170 °C was investigated. Escherichia coli was used to evaluate the antibacte...
