Descripción

Application

Forma geles con aniones multivalentes. Produce disoluciones transparentes que se secan en láminas fuertes y transparentes.

Shrimp shell derived chitosan, deacetylated chitin (poly β-1,4-D-glucosamine), may be used as a biocompatible, antibacterial and environmentally friendly polyelectrolyte biomaterial with a variety of applications including uses in 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. It may be derivatized to further expand its uses.

Features and Benefits

Polielectrólito biocompatible, antibacteriano y ecológico con una variedad de aplicaciones entre ellas, el tratamiento del agua, la cromatografía, los aditivos para cosméticos, el tratamiento textil para actividad antimicrobiana, fibras nuevas para textiles, papeles fotográficos, películas biodegradables, productos biomédicos e implantes de microcápsulas para la liberación controlada en la administración de medicamentos.

Quality

May contain foreign matter.

Preparation Note

Prepared by the alkaline deacetylation of chitin obtained from the shells of shrimp (Pandalus borealis). Chitin is manufactured industrially by crushing shrimp shells, then washing the solids with acids to remove inorganic and proteinaceous material. The purified chitin is deacetylated to chitosan by treatment with a strong base such as sodium hydroxide. The resulting chitosan may be further purified by preparation of solutions in acid followed by neutralization and precipitation.

Analysis Note

The degree of acetylation may be determined by dye binding or titration methods.
