| Description | Chitin is a long-chain polymer of N-acetylglucosamine, found abundantly in the exoskeletons of arthropods and the cell walls of fungi. While insoluble in water in its native form, derivatives or specific processing can be used to form hydrogels; it is known for its biocompatibility, biodegradability, antimicrobial properties, and ability to promote wound healing. |
| Application Areas | Chitin-based hydrogels (often in modified forms or composites) are investigated for wound dressings, particularly for infected wounds due to its antimicrobial nature, as scaffolds for tissue engineering, and in drug delivery systems. |
