A Short Review on Chitosan Membrane for Biomolecules Immobilization

Abstract

Munusamy Thirumavalavan and Jiunn-Fwu Lee

Chitosan is an important natural polymer that occurs in the world. Chitosan is soluble in acidic aqueous media and it can be obtained in various forms. It is widely used for many applications. Hence, we briefly describe the role of chitosan in membrane form, an important area of research in which a variety of synthetic methods has been proposed and their significance is explained. Thus, this review emphasizes the papers on the high value-added applications of these chitosan membranes in diverse fields such as medicine, biological, cosmetics and nanotechnology.
