Properties
Description
Chitosan-PEG-nitrophenyl carbonate, or nitrophenyl carbonate-PEG-chitosan, is a research-specific construct made by conjugating chitosan (a chitin-derived polymer) with a 20 kDa PEG linker and nitrophenyl carbonate. It combines chitosan's adhesion, PEG's hydrophilicity, and nitrophenyl carbonate's functionality.
