Fragmentation of Chitosan by Acids by Mohammad Reza Kasaai, Joseph Arul, Gérard Charlet

“…The results of polydispersity and the DA suggest that the selected experimental conditions (temperature and concentration of acid) were appropriate to obtain the fragments having the polydispersity and the DA similar to or slightly different from those of the original one. A procedure to estimate molecular weight of fragments as well as the number of chain scissions of the fragments under the experimental conditions was also proposed.…”
