I want to know any synthetic or natural polymer with same type of acidic conditions solubility of chitosan for drug delivery.
Good day!
You may consider some other materials as a possible substitutes to chitosan - aminated cellulose, starch, alginates, collagen, gelatin, chitin etc.
Also, I consider you to cooperate with Iryna S. Kolesnyk on that point.
Here are some important links:

If you have found current answer as useful, please, do not hesitate to recommend it. That will help other researches to find the best answer, according to their purposes. Best of luck in your research!
Dear Gouranga Dutta,
Polylysine, polyallylamine or polyethylenimine are commercially available cationic polymers.
Dear all, polyhydroxyalkanoate is the best choice I guess, especially if drug delivery is the main object of the study. My Regards
Dear Gouranga Dutta,
You can use Cellulose Nanofiber (CNF) or Cellulose Nanocrystal (CNC) are natural polymer that have similar character with chitosan. The hydroxyl group (OH) of CNF and CNC are modifable to get more applicable for wide drug delivery
