• Effects of ionic strength on the size and compactness of chitosan nanoparticles (2012, background): “Furthermore, the often mild conditions under which physical crosslinking is performed [4, 5, 7], render this method more applicable to encapsulation of labile drugs.”
• Stability of Chitosan—A Challenge for Pharmaceutical and Biomedical Applications (2015, background): “Chitosan is primarily characterized by its molecular weight, which is responsible for a number of its physicochemical and biological properties such as hydrophilicity, viscosity, water-uptake ability, biodegradability, and mucoadhesion [10,40].”
• Chitosan as a Wound Dressing Starting Material: Antimicrobial Properties and Mode of Action (2019, background): “Hydrogels • high absorption properties • provide a moist environment at the wound site • water retention • oxygen permeability • ensure the solubility of growth factor/antimicrobial agents • weak mechanical properties • need for a secondary dressing [127,135,203]”
• Chitosan-based biomaterials for tissue engineering (2013, background): “Chitosan can also be firstly modified by activated functional groups before inducing cross-linking by photo-induced reaction or enzymatic catalyzed reactions [38].”
