Int J Biol Macromol. 2010 Dec 1;47(5):696-9. doi: 10.1016/j.ijbiomac.2010.09.002. Epub 2010 Sep 15.

Abstract

The efficient procedure to prepare novel water-soluble chitosan derivative was established by Michael addition reaction to introduce sodium allylsulfonate into the chitosan at mild condition. The chemical structure of the chitosan derivative was characterized by FT-IR, (1)H NMR and Elemental analysis. The degree of substitution (DS) was calculated by Elemental analysis. The chitosan derivative exhibited an excellent solubility in the distilled water. The physical properties were analyzed by XRD and TG. The XRD study indicated that the crystallinity of chitosan derivative decreased. The thermal analysis showed that chitosan derivative had lower thermal stability than chitosan.
