Metric Options: CountsSelecting the 1-year or 3-year option will change the metrics count to percentiles, illustrating how an article or review compares to other articles or reviews within the selected time period in the same journal. Selecting the 1-year option compares the metrics against other articles/reviews that were also published in the same calendar year. Selecting the 3-year option compares the metrics against other articles/reviews that were also published in the same calendar year plus the two years prior.
Example: if you select the 1-year option for an article published in 2019 and a metric category shows 90%, that means that the article or review is performing better than 90% of the other articles/reviews published in that journal in 2019. If you select the 3-year option for the same article published in 2019 and the metric category shows 90%, that means that the article or review is performing better than 90% of the other articles/reviews published in that journal in 2019, 2018 and 2017.

Review Description
Cotton gauzes coated with chitosan have been tested as water filter for biological disinfection against Gram-positive bacteria. The present study develops the previous ones, aiming to the stability evaluation of ultraviolet-cured chitosan coating of cotton gauzes in order to optimize the chitosan amount applied to the substrate, lowering the add-on percentage as much as possible: 10%, 5% and 2% wt were here considered. Antibacterial activity and permanence of this property after water flow were tested, showing good results, in particular as regards 10% wt and 5% wt chitosan coated cotton gauze. Moreover, chitosan release was studied in both static and dynamic conditions, with the result that water flux causes a reduction of the amount of chitosan, which remains bounded to the fibres. This reduction depends on the duration of the flux and on the original amount of chitosan on the filter.
