Properties
Description
Maleimide-conjugated chitosan, designated as chitosan-maleimide, results from covalent attachment of maleimide groups to the polysaccharide backbone. Derived from crustacean-derived chitin, this modified biopolymer synergizes chitosan's tissue-friendly properties with maleimide's thiol-reactive characteristics for specialized biomaterial engineering.
