Chitosan is a naturally derived, biodegradable polymer composed of poly[β-(1→4)-2-amino-2-deoxy-D-glucose], obtained by the deacetylation of chitin, commonly sourced from crustacean shells. Known for its biocompatibility, low toxicity, and film-forming abilities, chitosan is widely used in biomedical research, pharmaceutical formulations, water treatment, and biopolymer development.
