Properties
Description
Chitosan-PEG-C16 palmitic acid (4 kDa), known as C16 palmitic acid-PEG-chitosan, is a research-focused material formed by attaching a 4 kDa PEG spacer and palmitic acid to chitosan—a polysaccharide from chitin. The product combines chitosan's mucoadhesion with PEG's solubility and palmitic acid's lipidic behavior.
