Abstract Chitosan (CS) is a natural polycationic polysaccharide and pH sensitive polymer with incomplete deacetylation from claiming chitin. It is also a guaranteeing material in terms of pharmaceutical, chemical, and sustenance industry due to its exceptional structure including reactive –OH and –NH2 groups. In this study, a catechol-functionalized chitosan (CCS) for an eminent level for substitution was synthesized and propelled by marine mussel cuticles in place on research those intricate connections between Fe3+ and catechol under acidic conditions. The ratios of catechol, chitosan and other reagents decide the structure of the hydrogel. The gel formation is then well-maintained by dual cross-linking through electrostatic interactions between CCS and oxidative ions such as Fe3+ and IO4- through covalent catechol-coupling-based coordinate bonds. The hydrogels showed enhanced cohesiveness and shock-absorbing properties at lower pH and EDTA treatment due to coordinate bonds inspired by mussel byssal threads. Thus, the gelation time, rheological properties, UV-vis and 1H- Nuclear Magnetic Resonance spectroscopy, and the morphologic aspects were elucidated to describe those crosslinking components and the physical properties of the chitosan backbones and hydrogel frameworks.
