Abstract

UV-curable chitosans (UVCC-7 − 10) were synthesized using less-toxic agents. The UVCC-7 was completely cured by UV spot irradiation for 4 s. The UVCC-7 was implanted into murine subcutaneous tissues, and the response to the implantation was observed by histological examination at 7 days after implantation. In the histological findings, the implant was surrounded by thin fibrous granulating tissue with no inflammatory cellular infiltration. Fibroblasts infiltrate between the cured implant. The novel synthesized UVCC-7 showed good biocompatibility.
