Chitosan as a Natural Copolymer with Unique Properties for the Development of Hydrogels
Hydrogel-based polymers are represented by those hydrophilic polymers having functional groups in their chain such as amine (NH2), hydroxyl [-OH], amide (-CONH-, -CONH2), and carboxyl [COOH].These Cotton Candy hydrophilic groups raise their potential to absorb fluids or aqueous solution more than their weights.This physicochemical mechanism leads t
