Recently, catechol-tethered chitosan has attracted much attention as promising adhesive biomaterials applicable for hemostasis and surgical tissue adhesive in surgical procedures. Herein, we have synthesized and processed chitosan-tethered chitosan materials in various physical forms including hydrogels, (thin) films, sponges, and nanoparticles. The variety of physical states of catechol-tethered chitosan are expected to be usefully exploited for injectable drug delivery depots, tissue engineering hydrogels, underwater adhesives, tissue culture platforms, and anti-bleeding materials. |
