Description

Chitosan (Biodegradable Polymer Grade) is a naturally derived polysaccharide obtained from chitin, known for its biodegradability, biocompatibility, and versatile functional properties. The material contains reactive amino groups that enable chemical modification, crosslinking, and formation of diverse structures such as hydrogels, films, and porous scaffolds.

Chitosan exhibits intrinsic bioactivity and supports cell interaction, making it suitable for biomedical and environmental applications. Its degradation occurs through enzymatic pathways, producing non-toxic byproducts. The material is highly tunable, allowing control over molecular weight, degree of deacetylation, and solubility to match specific application requirements.
