Research Summary
Chitosan is a natural polysaccharide derived from chitin, the major component found in the exoskeletons of crustaceans like shrimp, crab, and lobster, as well as the cell walls of fungi. Chitosan is created by deacetylating chitin, a process that removes the acetyl groups from the chitin molecules. It has unique properties such as biodegradability, biocompatibility, and antimicrobial activity, which make it a versatile material with various applications. In the biomedical field, chitosan is widely used for wound dressings, as it promotes tissue regeneration and exhibits antibacterial properties. It is also employed in drug delivery systems, as it can form nanoparticles that improve drug stability and release. Chitosan"s ability to chelate metal ions makes it useful in water purification and as a natural coagulant in wastewater treatment. Furthermore, its film-forming properties and biodegradability have led to its use in food packaging materials to extend the shelf life of products. Chitosan"s numerous beneficial characteristics have made it a valuable resource in a wide range of industries, driving ongoing research and development for even more applications in the future.
