Influence of the Nanoparticles Chitosan High Molecular on the Degradation of Nanofill and Nanohybrid Composite Resins inVarious pH Saliva
Summary
Researchers tested whether adding 0.1% high-molecular-weight chitosan nanoparticles to the surfaces of nanofill and nanohybrid composite resins affected their degradation under salivary pH conditions ranging from 3 to 10, finding that surface degradation still occurred across all pH levels despite chitosan addition, with nanohybrid resin showing relative surface stability only at neutral pH.
Composite resin is a filling or restoration material that has a similar color to the teeth, is insensitive to dehydration, and is relatively easy to manipulate. One of the nanotechnology developments in dentistry is nano fill and nanohybrid composite resin with minute particle sizes, which has a different value in its physical, mechanical, and optical properties. In the oral cavity, composite resin restoration material comes in contact with various salivary pH, acidic or alkali that can affect physical property changes, including surface roughness. Chitosan is a biomaterial continuously being developed because it has many medical benefits and has proven safe to use on people. This study analyzes composite resin restoration strength when nanoparticle chitosan high molecular is added 1% to its surface degradation. Samples are 36 human premolar teeth randomly classified into 12 groups (r=3). Each group is classified based on different filling materials and salivary pH. Scanning Electron Microscopy (SEM) samples are tested to see the surface degradation. The result of this study shows that using composite resin, either nanofiller or nanohybrid, will go through salivary degradation on pH 3, 5, 7, dan 10. The lower the pH, the higher the degradation, Adding 0,1% chitosan on nano fill and nano hybrid shows that there is still degradation in the restoration surface. 0,1% Chitosan added in nano hybrid composite resin on pH 7 offers surface stability, although degradation is still found. The 0,1% chitosan added into nano fill composite resin shows a different value although still lower than nano hybrid composite added with 0,1% chitosan on surface degradation. Adding 0,1% high molecular Chitosan to both nanocomposite resins shows a better value when compared to the composite resin that is not infused with Chitosan.

Interaction of chitosan with nanoplastic in water: The effect of environmental conditions, particle properties, and potential for in situ remediation
Researchers tested chitosan — a natural polymer derived from shellfish — as a tool to aggregate and remove nanoplastic particles from water, finding it caused clumping at low doses but that high pH, dissolved organic matter, and surface chemistry of the plastics all affected its performance. The results suggest chitosan-based treatment has real potential for water remediation but requires careful tuning of environmental conditions.

While focused on dental applications, this study contributes to understanding how nano-sized particles generally interact with human cells.
Biopolymeric Nanocomposites for Wastewater Remediation: An Overview on Recent Progress and Challenges
This review examines how nanocomposites made from natural biopolymers like chitosan can be used to filter pollutants including microplastics out of wastewater. These biodegradable materials offer a more sustainable alternative to traditional water treatment methods, which matters for human health because cleaner wastewater means fewer microplastics reaching drinking water sources.
Nanoplastic Size and Surface Chemistry Dictate Decoration by Human Saliva Proteins
Researchers discovered that when nanoplastics enter the human mouth, saliva proteins quickly coat the particles, and the type of coating depends on the plastic's size and surface charge. Smaller particles attracted more proteins and the protein coatings affected how cells responded to the nanoplastics in laboratory tests. This is significant because it means the body's first interaction with ingested nanoplastics changes their biological identity, which could influence how they are absorbed and where they end up in the body.
Harnessing the power of amphoterically modified Chitosan coagulants for enhanced Polyester microplastic fibre removal from water
Amphoterically modified chitosan was used as a coagulant aid to capture microplastics from water, leveraging the biopolymer's charge-switching ability to bind particles across a range of pH conditions. Chitosan-based capture materials are attractive because chitosan is biodegradable and derived from renewable sources.
