In this study, we investigated in vitro the role of the degree of acetylation (DA) on some
biological properties of chitosan films. We noticed that, whatever the DA, all chitosan films …

Chitin and chitosan (a deacetylated derivative of chitin) have been proposed for biomedical
applications because of their biocompatibility and abundance in nature. We have …

The properties of chitosan films can be modified by changing the solvent type, attributing to
the different interaction patterns between chitosan and acids. However, little is known about …

Chitosan has been researched for implant and wound healing applications. However, there
are inconsistencies in reports on the tissue and fibroblast responses to chitosan materials …

The effect of time during the deacetylation of chitin by hot alkali was studied to ascertain the
film forming ability of chitosan. Five types of chitosan films were prepared in a single step …

In this study, we investigated in vitro the role of the degree of deacetylation and molecular
weight on some biological properties of chitosan films. The influence of different degree of …

An increase in the depolymerization of chitosan was found with an increased concentration
of sodium perborate. Acetic anhydride was added to reacetylated chitosan in a molar ratio …

Chitosan (β-1, 4-d-glucosamine), a polysaccharide with excellent biological properties, has
been widely used in biomedical fields, but many barriers still exist to its broader usage due …

The physicochemical nature of chitin and chitosan, which influences the biomedical activity
of these compounds, is strongly related to the source of chitin and the conditions of the …

Chitosan (Ch) is being actively investigated as a non-protein template for the growth of an
increasing number of anchorage-dependent cells, including chondrocytes and bone cells. In …
