Properties
Description
Thiol-chitosan, or chitosan-SH, is an investigational hybrid formed by grafting thiol groups onto chitosan—a natural polymer sourced from chitin. This pairing merges chitosan's biodegradability with thiol's redox and conjugation properties.
Form
Solid or viscous liquid
Impurities
No visible impurities to the naked eye.
Solubility
This product is soluble in most organic solvents, such as DCM, DMF, DMSO, and THF, and exhibits excellent solubility in water.
Stability
It is stable under its storage temperature.
