| Description | Carboxymethyl chitosan is a water-soluble derivative of chitosan, produced by introducing carboxymethyl groups (-CH₂COOH) onto the chitosan backbone. This modification improves its solubility at neutral and alkaline pH, enhances its moisture retention, and maintains or improves its biocompatibility and biodegradability, readily forming hydrogels. |
| Application Areas | Hydrogels from carboxymethyl chitosan are used in wound healing applications due to their enhanced moisture-providing capabilities, as drug delivery carriers with pH-sensitive release profiles, and in tissue engineering for creating scaffolds that support cell growth and tissue regeneration. |
