Summary

Chitosan is a natural biopolymer obtained through the deacetylation of chitin, which is derived from marine shellfish and other biological sources. Providing a theoretical basis for the design of biomaterials, this book discusses the relationship between the structure and functions of chitosan-based hydrogels. The text covers many research fields, including materials science, biotechnology, pharmaceutics, regenerative medicine, and cell engineering. The author also presents numerous real-world examples that illustrate the vast array of potential applications for chitosan-based hydrogels. This includes its use as a carrier in drug delivery/release and in the scaffolds of tissue engineering.
