Properties
Description
Aldehyde-functionalized chitosan (chitosan-CHO) is produced through controlled oxidation reactions introducing reactive aldehyde groups. This modified biopolymer preserves chitosan's biodegradability while acquiring aldehyde-mediated crosslinking abilities for hydrogel formation and biomolecule conjugation.
