Chitosan-Based Hydrogels. From Classic to Dynamic Materials
Journal Title: Memoirs of the Scientific Sections - Year 2017, Vol 0, Issue
Abstract
This review presents the current state-of-art in the obtaining of hydrogels by the use of a versatile polyaminosaccharide – chitosan. Presenting the main preparation strategies along with the properties of the resulting systems, the study focuses on the advantages conferred by chitosan’s action, derived from its intrinsic properties, usually observable in the resulting hydrogels. Moreover, the literature survey reveals that the chemical structure of this polymer, by the presence of the amine groups on its backbone, renders it an excellent choice for obtaining of dynamic materials, especially hydrogels, through the reversible chemistry of imine linkage.
