Chitosan is a biomaterial with a range of current and potential biomedical applications.
Manipulation of chitosan degree of deacetylation (DDA) to achieve specific properties …

Degree of deacetylation (DDA) and molecular weight (MW) of chitosans are important to
their physical and biological properties. In this study, two chitosans, HS (DDA= 73.3%) and …

In this study, the influence of degree of deacetylation (DD) and composition on some
structural and biological properties of chitosan scaffolds were examined in vitro. 3D chitosan …

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 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 …

Among the many advantages of chitosan as an implant biomaterial, is controllable
degradability, which makes chitosan a unique biomaterial choice for tissue engineering and …

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 …

Chitin was deacetylated to various extents with NaOH to obtain partially and thoroughly
deacetylated chitins. The specimens used in this study were deacetylated by 0 (chitin), 68.8 …

The effect of sorbitol on the physicochemical, mechanical and thermal properties of chitosan
films with different degrees of deacetylation (DD; ie, DD85% and DD95%) was investigated …

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 …
