As part of our ongoing effort to develop a biodegradable nerve guidance channel based on
chitin/chitosan, we conducted a systematic in vitro study on the biodegradation and neural …

Chitosan was prepared from chitin using a deacetylation process. The molecular weight and
degree of deacetylation of chitosan were determined by viscosity and infrared spectroscopy …

Since being discovered, alkali/urea has been widely used in the dissolution of natural
polysaccharides and the preparation of functional materials such as hydrogels, fibers, films …

Chitosan has been widely researched for bone tissue and implant applications. While initial
results are promising, there are inconsistent reports regarding the biological responses. This …

Chitosan is nowadays in the limelight as carrier system for drugs, proteins, hormones,
enzymes and genes. Therefore, it is important to also investigate the cytotoxicity of different …

Being credited with the most extensively studied polysaccharide polymer and promising
candidate for versatile applications, chitosan has proved to be a standalone material with …

Chitosan is a versatile and generous biopolymer obtained by alkaline deacetylation of
naturally occurring chitin, the second most abundant biopolymer after cellulose. The …

In this research, different chitosan samples were obtained and were applied to produce
biopolymeric films, aiming to obtain environmentally friendly materials for packaging …

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 …

Integrating proteins with chitosan (CS) can not only improve the biocompatibility of CS, but
also enable the sustained release of proteins. The deacetylation degree (DD) and pH …
