Abstract
Chitosan (CS) is a natural polymer obtained by removing acetyl groups from chitin through alkaline hydrolysis. It possesses biodegradable properties and exhibits immunological, antibacterial, and wound-healing activities. This polysaccharide has undergone modification through radiation-induced graft copolymerization to broaden its application scope. The potential applications of CS can be expanded by introducing side chains through grafting. This article aims to review the innovative alternatives of gamma-graft-copolymerized CS and, for the first time, comprehensively examines the current applications of CS derivatives in dye removal, metal adsorption, antibacterial interventions, biomedical practices, drug delivery systems, and tissue engineering.
期刊介绍：
Current Organic Chemistry aims to provide in-depth/mini reviews on the current progress in various fields related to organic chemistry including bioorganic chemistry, organo-metallic chemistry, asymmetric synthesis, heterocyclic chemistry, natural product chemistry, catalytic and green chemistry, suitable aspects of medicinal chemistry and polymer chemistry, as well as analytical methods in organic chemistry. The frontier reviews provide the current state of knowledge in these fields and are written by chosen experts who are internationally known for their eminent research contributions. The Journal also accepts high quality research papers focusing on hot topics, highlights and letters besides thematic issues in these fields. Current Organic Chemistry should prove to be of great interest to organic chemists in academia and industry, who wish to keep abreast with recent developments in key fields of organic chemistry.
