Properties
Description
Chitosan-PEG-nitrophenyl carbonate, alternatively named nitrophenyl carbonate-PEG-chitosan, is a research-focused hybrid formed by modifying chitosan (derived from chitin) with a 1 kDa PEG tether and nitrophenyl carbonate. It merges chitosan's bioadhesion, PEG's solubility, and the functional versatility of nitrophenyl carbonate.
