A Simple Ionic-Gelation Method for Chitosan Nanoparticle Synthesis and Standardized Protocols for Biological Safety Assessment: Antibacterial Activity, Phytotoxicity, and Biocompatibility
The work couples a simple ionic-gelation synthesis with standardised antibacterial, phytotoxicity and biocompatibility testing. Its value is the safety workflow as much as the nanoparticle, although results remain sensitive to particle properties, feedstock and assay models.
