Properties
Description
Chitosan-PEG-C16 palmitic acid (1 kDa), termed C16 palmitic acid-PEG-chitosan, is a research-driven derivative where a 1 kDa PEG spacer links palmitic acid to chitosan—a natural polymer from chitin. The hybrid combines chitosan's adhesive properties with PEG's pharmacokinetics and palmitic acid's hydrophobic anchoring.
