cross-linking ability with other polymers, antimicrobial properties, gel forming ability, bioadhesion, immunostimulation, activation of macrophages and gas permeability. Here, I review applications of chitosan in drug delivery. The properties of chitin and chitosan, and the mechanisms of drug release are...
Chitosan which is deacetylated chitin is useful than chitin and is biomaterial of great interest. Regardless of its biodegradability, chemical modifications suggest due to the amino side reactivity, helps to impart it other great qualities. Herein, we discuss the preparative methods of synthetically ...
