Deacetylated chitin, Poly(D-glucosamine)
Chitosan is a cationic marine polymer derived form the shells of crustaceans (e.g., crabs). MP's chitosan is a partially de-acetylated chitin formed by the reaction of chitin with concentrated alkali. Chitin is a high molecular weight linear polymer of anhydro-N-acetyl-glucosamine. Chitin occurs in nature as part of the protective coating of some invertebrates.
Chitosan forms gels with multivalent anions. Gives clear solutions that dry to strong, clear films. It is biocompatible, antibacterial and environmentally friendly polyelectrolyte with a variety of applications including water treatment, chromatography, additives for cosmetics, textile treatment for antimicrobial activity, novel fibers for textiles, photographic papers, biodegradable films, biomedical devices, and microcapsule implants for controlled release in drug delivery.
