| Description | Chitosan is a deacetylated derivative of chitin, making it a cationic polysaccharide that is soluble in acidic aqueous solutions. It exhibits excellent biocompatibility, biodegradability, mucoadhesion, hemostatic properties, and inherent antibacterial activity, readily forming hydrogels through various crosslinking methods. |
| Application Areas | Chitosan hydrogels are widely applied as wound dressings, platforms for drug and gene delivery (especially mucosal delivery), scaffolds in tissue engineering (e.g., cartilage, bone, nerve), and in water purification due to their ability to chelate metal ions. |
