Properties
Description
The quaternization boosts low molecular weight chitosan's water solubility and keeps it soluble throughout a wide pH range. N,N,N-Trimethyl chitosan chloride (TMC) is the most extensively used quaternized chitosan in biomedical applications.
Molecular Formula
(C9H18ClNO4)n
Form
Light yellow to light brown powder
Purity
Reported, 40~60% quaternizated.
Applications
Chitosan has exceptional biological characteristics and is frequently used in medication delivery and tissue engineering research. Chitosan also has hemostatic characteristics, making it an excellent contender for wounddressing applications.
