Properties
Description
Nitrophenyl carbonate-PEG-chitosan, synonymous with chitosan-PEG-nitrophenyl carbonate, is a research-oriented conjugate where chitosan (from chitin) is coupled to a 10 kDa PEG spacer and nitrophenyl carbonate. This configuration utilizes chitosan's mucoadhesion, PEG's stealth, and nitrophenyl carbonate's reactivity.
