Gelation and Cryogelation of Chitosan: Origin of Low Efficiency of Diglycidyl Ethers as Cross-Linkers in Acetic Acid Solutions

Gelation and Cryogelation of Chitosan: Origin of Low Efficiency of Diglycidyl Ethers as Cross-Linkers in Acetic Acid Solutions

Although diglycidyl ethers of glycols (DEs)—FDA-approved reagents for biomedical applications—were considered unsuitable for the fabrication of chitosan (CH) hydrogels and cryogels, we have recently shown that CH cross-linking with DEs is possible, but its efficiency depends on the nature of the aci...
