"CHITOSAN OLIGOMERS – SYNTHESIS, CHARACTERIZATION AND PROPERTIES "
The paper presents the synthesis of chitosan oligomers with different polymerization degrees (PD) by chitosan depolymerization in the presence of nitrous acid, aiming to study the correlation between their polymerization degree and their properties. Seven oligomers were synthesized and purified.

Formation of Silver Nanoparticles Using Fluorescence Properties of Chitosan Oligomers. [PDF]
In this study, silver chloride nanoparticles (AgCl NPs) were prepared using chitosan oligomer (CHI) and chitosan oligomer derivatives (CHI-FITC). The CHI and CHI-FITC were used as markers to confirm the formation of AgCl NPs using their fluorescence properties as well as stabilizers.

Functionalization of Chitosan Oligomers: From Aliphatic Epoxide to Cardanol-Grafted Oligomers for Oil-in-Water Emulsions [PDF]
Hydrophobically modified chitooligosaccharides (COSs) were tested for suitability as an emulsifier in cationic bituminous emulsions. COSs with polymerization degrees (DPs) of 5, 10, 15, and 20 were obtained by nitrous acid deamination. A complete study on depolymerization and precise product and side product characterization was undergone.

Chitin, a polymer of β-(1→4)-linked N-acetyl-d-glucosamine, is one of the main polysaccharide components of the fungal cell wall. Its N-deacetylated form, chitosan, is enzymatically produced in the cell wall by chitin deacetylases.

Chitosan Oligomer as a Raw Material for Obtaining Polyurethane Foams
Decreasing oil extraction stimulates attempts to use biologically available sources to produce polyols, which are the basic components for obtaining polyurethane foams. Plants are inexhaustible source of oils, sugars, starches, and cellulose. Similar substrates to obtain polyols are chitosans.
