Properties
Description
C16 palmitic acid-PEG-chitosan (350 Da), also called chitosan-PEG-C16 palmitic acid, is a scientific conjugate where a 350 Da PEG spacer connects palmitic acid to chitosan—a polysaccharide from chitin. The construct integrates chitosan's biocompatibility with PEG's hydrophilicity and palmitic acid's lipophilic anchoring.
