Chitosan is derived from chitin. Chitosan is made by treating (deacetylating) the chitin shells of shrimp and other crustaceans with an alkaline substance. It is a biodegradable regular polymer with numerous benefits like non-harmfulness, bio similarity, and biodegradability.

The amino group in chitosan leads to significant protonation in neutral solution, increasing with increased acidity (decreased pH) and the DA-value. This makes chitosan water-soluble and a bioadhesive which readily binds to negatively charged surfaces. It can be applied in numerous fields, especially in medicine. As a delivery carrier, it has great potential and couldnt compare up to different polymers.

Due to their stability and biocompatibility the nanoparticles produced from chitosan derivatives can be used to deliver drugs. For research and development of new nano vaccines and nano drugs, chitosan based nanoparticles have great potential in the future.

Here are some of the primary uses and benefits of chitosan:
