Abstract

Chitosan, a biopolymer derived from chitin, has attracted considerable attention due to its versatile applications in industry and medicine. In industry, chitosan is used due to its remarkable properties such as biodegradability, biocompatibility and antimicrobial activity. It is used in various sectors including wastewater treatment, food packaging and fabric production. In medicine, the unique properties of chitosan make it a valuable material for drug delivery systems, wound healing, tissue engineering, etc. Its biocompatibility and ability to enhance drug absorption make it a promising candidate for pharmaceutical applications. The multifaceted nature of chitosan offers a wide range of opportunities for innovative developments in industrial and medical fields.
