Synthesis and Study of the Properties of Dual-Substituted Amphiphilic Low-Molecular-Weight Chitosan Derivatives
A series of low-molecular-weight chitosan derivatives with varying degrees of hydrophobic and cationic substitution was synthesized using a reductive alkylation method. At the first stage, a hydrophobic C14-alkyloxybenzyl moiety was introduced into the macromolecule; at the second stage, a cationic quaternary ammonium...
