“…Chitosan is one of the few natural aminopolysaccharides, whose biological properties include biocompatibility, antimicrobial, antioxidant and wound-healing acceleration activities (Ishihara et al, 2001;Kong, Chen, Xing, & Park, 2010;Ono et al, 2001;Shariatinia et al, 2019). It is also versatile for it can be processed as films, fibers, nanoparticles and hydrogels Pillai, Paul, & Sharma, 2009;Valente, Ferreira, Henriques, Borges, & Silva, 2019). However, there are important limitations to the potential chitosan applications in the biomedical field, especially its limited solubility in neutral and alkaline media.…”
