Chitosan Derivatives and Their Application in Biomedicine. [PDF]
Int J Mol Sci, 2020 Chitosan is a product of the deacetylation of chitin, which is widely found in nature. Chitosan is insoluble in water and most organic solvents, which seriously limits both its application scope and applicable fields. However, chitosan contains active functional groups that are liable to chemical reactions; thus, chitosan derivatives can be obtained ...
