Properties
Description
Chitosan-PEG-nitrophenyl carbonate, known as nitrophenyl carbonate-PEG-chitosan, is a research-grade construct synthesized by grafting a 3 kDa PEG chain and nitrophenyl carbonate onto chitosan, a biopolymer sourced from chitin. This design integrates chitosan's mucoadhesion, PEG's stealth effects, and nitrophenyl carbonate's functionality.
