6 pagesDate: February 19, 2020

Abstract

Development of nanostructured composite has become an interested area of researchers in recent years. Particularly significant are nanocomposites made of chitosan, which is obtained Deacetylation of chitin is a linear amino polysaccharide, and graphene oxide (GO). These combinations, due to the significant properties of both components such as non-toxicity, biocompatibility with human tissues and organs as well as bacteriostaticity, are characterized by a wide range of biomedical applications. Apart from its biodegradability, it can be chemically modified to produce derivatives that also contribute varied applications. These derivatives are easy to produce and can be made commercially available easily. They may be used in emergency medicine as dressing materials that accelerate wound healing, as well as carriers of drugs/genes and biological macromolecules. In chapter provide an overview of the continuous development of Graphene oxide-chitosan nanostructured composite with different properties are being used as a carrier for drug delivery. Also, the current publication presents the studies undergone with different research conducted from the past years of chitosan–graphene oxide nanocomposites in medicine considering the characteristics of the system components.
