Shining Light on Chitosan: A Review on the Usage of Chitosan for Photonics and Nanomaterials Research

Abstract: Chitosan (CS) is a natural polymer derived from chitin that has found its usage both in research and commercial applications due to its unique solubility and chemical and biological attributes. The biocompatibility and biodegradability of CS have helped researchers identify its utility in the delivery of therapeutic agents, tissue engineering, wound healing, and more. Industrial applications include cosmetic and personal care products, wastewater treatment, and corrosion protection, to name a few. Many researc… Show more

“…In addition, chitosan (CS), a natural biopolymer with excellent biocompatibility, has also been widely used in tissue repair and implant design. Critically, CS further serves as an ideal chelating agent for AgNPs and silver ions, allowing the sustainable release of silver ions from immobilized HA/AgNPs coated on an implant surface.…”

“…Chitosan, a partially deacetylated chitin (poly-β-(1→4)N-acetyl-d-glucosamine) is found in shrimp shells and fungi [9]. This polysaccharide has attracted attention as a biomedical material because of its biocompatibility and various biological activities, including immune-enhancing [10], anti-inflammatory [11], antibacterial [6], and antitumor activities [12].…”
