Properties
Description
Chitosan-PEG-C16 palmitic acid (550 Da), known as C16 palmitic acid-PEG-chitosan, is a research-oriented hybrid formed by attaching a 550 Da polyethylene glycol linker and palmitic acid to chitosan—a natural biopolymer. This pairing merges chitosan's mucoadhesion with PEG's solubility and palmitic acid's membrane integration.
