Introduction:
Carboxymethyl Chitosan (Medical Grade) is modified derivative of chan, which is a polysaccharide derived from chitin, a natural polymer found in the shells of crustaceans. Carboxymethyl chitosan is produced by chemically modifying chitosan through carboxymethylation, which introduces carboxymethyl groups onto the chitosan backbone.
Function:
Carboxymethyl chitosan exhibits unique properties due to its modified structure. It has excellent water solubility, biocompatibility, and biodegradability. One of its main functions is as a hydrogel-forming agent, capable of absorbing and retaining large amounts of water. This makes it useful in various biomedical applications such as drug delivery systems, wound healing, tissue engineering, and as a biomaterial for implants.Application:
Drug delivery: Carboxymethyl chitosan can be used as a carrier for controlled drug release. Its ability to form hydrogels allows for the encapsulation of drugs, protecting them from degradation and enabling sustained release over time.
