Simple Synthesis of Fluorophore Using Water-Soluble Chitosan Oligomer [PDF]

Proceedings of the 2016 International Conference on Applied Mathematics, Simulation and Modelling, 2016
In the past few decades, a great interest has been focused on a naturally occurring class of polymers called chitosan for their large amount in nature, biodegradability and extensive applications. Water-soluble chitosan oligomer is composed of β(1,4)-2-amido-2-deoxy-D-glucan and β-(1,4)-2-acetoamido-2deoxy-D-glucan(acetylglucosamine), and the low ...
