Chitosan as a Sustainable Material for Implantable Sensors and Bioelectronic Applications
The growing demand for sustainable materials in medical technology has led to increased interest in bio-based polymers. A recent publication in RSC Sustainability highlights chitosan as a highly promising material for implantable sensors and bioelectronic systems. Its biocompatibility, functional amino groups, and tunable mechanical and electrical properties make chitosan particularly attractive for next generation biomedical devices.
Publications in January 2017 - layer-by-layer coating with chitosan
The year 2017 started in January with a high number of new publications about chitosan and chitosan derivatives (383 articles). Top countries in publishing about chitosan were China (75), the United States (39) and India (25). This time we focus on the layer-by-layer (LbL) assembly of chitosan mostly together with other biomaterials and possible applications.
