DEGRADABLE COMPOSITE MATERIAL CONTAINING CHITIN OR CHITOSAN

摘要

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a degradable composite material which contains at least one polysaccharide of chitin or chitosan and has an autolytic ability.

SOLUTION: A molded article which contains at least one polysaccharide of chitin or chitosan is made to carry a degrading enzyme which can hydrolyze the polysaccharides, whereby the polysaccharide can be gradually decomposed in the presence of water e.g. in vivo.
