Properties
Description
Chitosan-PEG-C16 palmitic acid (3 kDa), referred to as C16 palmitic acid-PEG-chitosan, is a scientific hybrid where a 3 kDa PEG linker bridges chitosan—a natural glycan—and palmitic acid. The pairing preserves chitosan's biodegradability while incorporating PEG's hydrophilicity and palmitic acid's nanostructure formation.
