Properties
Description
Alkyne-modified chitosan, termed chitosan-alkyne, represents a chemically engineered derivative where alkyne moieties are covalently attached to chitosan - a biopolymer obtained through chitin deacetylation. This hybrid material merges inherent biocompatibility, enzymatic degradability, and mucosal adhesion capacities of chitosan with alkyne's bioorthogonal reactivity for targeted applications.
