Functionalization of chitosan with carboxylic acids and derivatives of them: Synthesis issues and prospects of practical use: A review
Journal: eXPRESS Polymer Letters
Year: 2018

The review is devoted to the current state of the investigation works concerning chitosan functionalization with carboxylic acids and derivatives of them, including oxidized carbon nanoparticles such as graphene oxide, oxidized nano diamonds and oxidized carbon nanotubes. The examples of a use of chitosan derivatives in the pharmacology, the regenerative medicine, and other areas are given.
