Chitosan exhibits unique properties such as non-toxicity, biodegradability and biocompatibility. Since its chemical structure and properties can be easily modified, it can be an ideal candidate as a biomaterial. Consequently, chitosan and its derivatives are being developed in different forms such as nanoparticles, micelles, nanofibers, hydrogels, films and 3D porous materials for various biomedical applications, ranging from drug and gene delivery to tissue engineering and regenerative medicine. The chapters of this volume focus on the potential use of chitosan and its derivatives as a hemostatic agent, tissue sealants, tissue engineering scaffolds, delivery carriers for bioactive molecules in bone tissue engineering and wound dressings. Some chapter’s deal with recent advancements of chitosan-based biomaterials as a drug, gene and transdermal drug delivery carrier. In addition, the volume focusses on the prospects of chitosan-based systems for the treatment of cancer, eye and other infectious diseases. The volume will be of interest to material scientists, chemists and bio | 出版日期 | Book 2021 | 关键词 | Chitosan-based biomaterials; Chitosan nanofibers; Biomedical applications; Drug Delivery; Wound Dressing | 版次 | 1 | doi | https://doi.org/10.1007/978-3-030-83021-2 | isbn_softcover | 978-3-030-83023-6 | isbn_ebook | 978-3-030-83021-2Series ISSN 0065-3195 Series E-ISSN 1436-5030 | issn_series | 0065-3195 | copyright | The Editor(s) (if applicable) and The Author(s), under exclusive license to Springer Nature Switzerl |
