The application of the chitosan/β-glycerophosphate (CS/β-GP) system is limited due to its weak mechanical performance, high concentration β-GP, and slow gelation. To revitalize this thermal-coagulation system, we used catechol-chitosan (CS-C) systematically investigated influence modification. By controlling grafting rate, it was found that solution pH pKa CS-C were both affected by decrease amino groups, whereas gelation time required β-GP content for gelling significantly decreased. Using oxidative properties catechol CS-C/β-GP hydrogel showed a 10-fold increment in stiffness, rapid (1-2 min), much lower (2-6 wt %). In addition, performed well antimicrobial biocompatibility tests. This first work elucidate mechanism modified chitosan systems, making chitosan-based systems field biomedicine tissue repair possible.
