Chitosan is a partially deacetylated derivative of chitin, a natural polysaccharide extracted from crustaceans, insects and certain fungi. This book gathers research from around the globe in the study of chitosan, including its manufacture, properties and usage across a broad spectrum.

Chitosan is a partially deacetylated derivative of chitin, a natural polysaccharide extracted from crustaceans, insects and certain fungi. Owing to its unique properties such as biodegradability, biocompatability, biological activity, and capacity of forming polyelectrolyte complex with anionic polyelectrolytes, chitosan has been widely applied in the food and cosmetics industry as well as the biomedical field in relation to tissue engineering, and the pharmaceutical industry relating to drug delivery. This book gathers current research from around the globe in the study of chitosan, including its manufacture, properties and usage across a broad spectrum.

Preface; Chitosan from Fungi; Chitosan: Modifications & Applications in Dosage Form Design; Interpolyelectrolyte Complexes of Chitosan; N-Carboxyethylchitosan-Based Polymer Materials; Chitosan NanoParticles for Biomedical Applications; Chitosan-Based Nanocarriers: Effective Vehicles for Mucosal Protein Delivery; Chitosan: A Potential Bio-Polymer for Drug Delivery; Current Status of Chitosan on Dermal/Transdermal Drug Delivery Systems; Index.
