Properties
Description
Chitosan-PEG-C16 palmitic acid (750 Da), or C16 palmitic acid-PEG-chitosan, is an investigational material synthesized by grafting a 750 Da PEG tether and palmitic acid onto chitosan—a chitin-sourced glycan. The product retains chitosan's biodegradability while adding PEG's stealth effects and palmitic acid's lipid bilayer affinity.
