Physical and Chemical Modification of Chitin/Chitosan for Functional Wound Dressings

  • Chapter
  • First Online:
Chitosan for Biomaterials III

Part of the book series: Advances in Polymer Science ((POLYMER,volume 287))

Abstract

This chapter provides insight into the functionalization of chitin and chitosan for general and specific-purpose wound dressings, such as hemorrhage, infected, burn, and diabetic ulcer wounds. The understanding of different kinds of wounds, wound healing process, and factors affecting wound healing is essential for the design of well-functioning biomaterials as well as the fabrication of wound dressings. Functionalization of chitin/chitosan, including physical and chemical modification to form functional wound dressings for specific purposes, is described in this chapter.
