Chitosan: An Overview of Its Properties and Applications

Chitosan has garnered much interest due to its properties and possible applications. Then, we review two polymer applications related to green processes: the use of chitosan in the green synthesis of metallic nanoparticles and its use as support for biocatalysts.

⚡ This is an original paraphrased summary — not copied from the abstract. Full paper available at the source link below.

• 1 Every year the number of publications and patents based on this polymer increase.
• 2 Chitosan exhibits poor solubility in neutral and basic media, limiting its use in such conditions.
• 3 Another serious obstacle is directly related to its natural origin.

These innovations can translate to real-world improvements in technology, infrastructure, and everyday tools.
