Chitosan is an important natural polymer that occurs in the world. Chitosan is soluble in acidic aqueous media and it can be obtained in various forms. It is widely used for many applications. Hence, we briefly describe the role of chitosan in membrane form, an important area of research in which a variety of synthetic methods has been proposed and their significance is explained. Thus, this review emphasizes the papers on the high value-added applications of these chitosan membranes in diverse fields such as medicine, biological, cosmetics and nanotechnology.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
