Properties
Description
C16 palmitic acid-chitosan, referred to as chitosan-palmitic acid, is an experimental conjugate synthesized by modifying chitosan—a chitin-derived polymer—with palmitic acid. The construct fuses chitosan's mucoadhesion with palmitic acid's hydrophobic traits.
Functional Group
C16 palmitic acid
