Metric Options: CountsSelecting the 1-year or 3-year option will change the metrics count to percentiles, illustrating how an article or review compares to other articles or reviews within the selected time period in the same journal. Selecting the 1-year option compares the metrics against other articles/reviews that were also published in the same calendar year. Selecting the 3-year option compares the metrics against other articles/reviews that were also published in the same calendar year plus the two years prior.
Example: if you select the 1-year option for an article published in 2019 and a metric category shows 90%, that means that the article or review is performing better than 90% of the other articles/reviews published in that journal in 2019. If you select the 3-year option for the same article published in 2019 and the metric category shows 90%, that means that the article or review is performing better than 90% of the other articles/reviews published in that journal in 2019, 2018 and 2017.

Book Chapter Description
Carboxymethyl chitosan (CMCh) is a versatile biopolymer, which is applied in various industries. The CMCh exhibits unique biocompatibility, solubility, modification, and biodegradability properties, creating it an interesting topic for a book chapter. This chapter aims to comprehensively understand the synthesis, physicochemical properties, and applications of CMCh in the packaging, food, pharmaceutical, and cosmetic industries. Different synthesized CMCh are applied in antibacterial, antioxidant, anti-fogging, preservative, carrier, glazing agent, drug delivery, and wound healing. The first section explains the synthesis and physicochemical properties of CMCh, followed by its uses in packaging, pharmaceuticals, and cosmetics. In addition, new applications of CMCh in tissue engineering, nanotechnology, and gene therapy development were discussed. Finally, the biodegradation of CMCh composites is also mentioned. The book chapter emphasizes the demand of researchers and scientists to explore the advancement of CMCh, highlights the various types of CMCh in industrial applications, and provides useful information on prospective applications. The advancements of CMCh-modified products were observed in various industries, including packaging, food, pharmaceuticals, and cosmetics. The upcoming generation is anticipated to spearhead a revolutionary wave of innovative CMCh-modified products.
