Chitosan is a polysaccharide comprised of linked D-glucosamine and N-acetyl-D-glucosamine units. It is produced by the deacetylation of chitin, a naturally occurring polysaccharide. Chitosan is commercially used in agriculture as a biopesticide but has potential applications in the biomedical field due to its antibacterial properties. This product is derived from shrimp shell.

Preparation and rheological characterization of cellulose-chitosan hydrogel for extrusion 3D printer
Gerardo Martin Quindoza III, Patrick Aldwin Castillo, Jill Manapat, John Kenneth Cruz
ASEAN Engineering Journal, 157-165, 12(4) (2022)

The application of three-dimensional (3D) printing in tissue engineering is becoming prominent nowadays. A big obstacle for this technology is the selection of proper ink material. Chitosan hydrogel is an established biocompatible material that can be used as tissue scaffolds, and it has the rheolo… read more
