Uses |
Carboxymethyl Chitosan (CMCS) is a chemically modified chitosan featured with good water‑solubility and biocompatibility, hence it is widely used in many fields. In the pharmaceutical sector, owing to its outstanding biocompatibility and biodegradability, CMCS is extensively applied in drug delivery systems and biomaterials. It can effectively encapsulate drugs, control drug release rate and enhance drug stability. Besides, CMCS can serve as scaffold materials in tissue engineering to promote cell growth and regeneration. In the food industry, as a natural food additive, CMCS improves food texture and preservation performance. In agriculture, CMCS can be used to formulate environmentally‑friendly pesticides and fertilizers. It improves pesticide efficiency and reduces environmental pollution. CMCS is also applicable for soil amendment to boost plant growth. |
