Abstract

Chitin and chitosan are natural biopolymers with applications in different areas. However, to broaden its application area, research is needed to impart new functionality, develop new and better materials and to explore the whole potential of chitin/chitosan derivatives. These derivatives can be made by chemical and enzymatic synthesis. Here, the main classes of chitosan derivatives obtained by using green and sustainable conversion routes and as much as possible using green and/or bio‐based chemicals for modification and their potential areas for application are discussed.
