OBJECTIVE: To study the effects of different dispersing media, such as atolin and ethyl benzoate, on sustained-release properties of chitosan microspheres.
This article reviewed the therapeutic use of chitosan as artificial lacrima, medical viscoelastic material, carrier of drug delivery systems and so on in ophthalmic disease.
We can also make plastic bags from these sheets by gluing them together with more of the bioplastic, which means that the bag is 100% chitosan and so it's much more easily recycled.
