Properties
Description
Carboxyl-functionalized chitosan (chitosan-COOH) is synthesized through controlled chemical grafting of carboxylic acid groups onto the chitosan matrix. This modification preserves the base polymer's biodegradation profile and mucoadhesive strength while introducing pH-responsive carboxyl functionality for controlled drug release applications.
Functional Group
Carboxyl
Form
Solid or viscous liquid
Impurities
