Iminoboronate-chitosan based hydrogels were obtained by dual chemo-physical crosslinking.
The hydrogels have supramolecular architecture with three-dimensional nanostructuring.
They are elastic structures, highly resistant to deformation, with high recovery degree.
Their MES value varies between 10 and 110, function of crosslinking degree and pH.
They proved strong antifungal activity against Candida planktonic yeasts and biofilms.
