“…CTS-grafted-mPEG (CTS-mPEG) was synthesized by utilizing PNC as a cross-linking agent, as previously reported, with modification [22,23]. Briefly, 0.8 g mPEG was melted under vacuum at 65°C, followed by adding 0.05 g PNC under constant stirring for 6 h, and the temperature was then cooled down to 40°C.…”

“…The pure CS film has an AWCA about 77.6 ± 3.6°, which is acceptable and in a good agreement with previous reports. There are literatures reported that the water contact angles of chitosan are 80 ± 4.6° [35], 60.7 ± 1.25° [36], 69.4° [ 37], 85.6° [38], and 84.54° [39]. We believed that the variation in water contact angle values of chitosan is due to non-equilibrium state of the testing and the swelling of materials.…”

“…Among the natural polymer‐based biodegradable hydrogels, chitosan (CS) hydrogel has more promising attention because of its biodegradable, noncarcinogenic, nonimmunogenic, and biocompatible features . Furthermore, the controllable swelling and enzymatic degradation qualities of CS hydrogel films have been improved by cross‐linking with polyethylene glycol (PEG) . The controlled drug releasing efficacy of the hydrogel depends upon the environmental stimuli such as pH, temperature, and magnetic field .…”
