Characteristics of the chitosan samples prepared in-house by chitin deacetylation.
| Number of Deacetylation Cycles | Molecular Weight a (kDa) | DD b (%) |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | 1.7 | 77 |
| 2 | 1.9 | 80 |
| 3 | 1.4 | 85 |
| 4 | 1.0 | 89 |
a Calculated from intrinsic viscosity; b Degree of deacetylation determined by FTIR spectroscopy.
