Macromolecular conformation of chitosan in dilute solution: A new global hydrodynamic approach [PDF]

open access: yes, 2009
Chitosans of different molar masses were prepared by storing freshly prepared samples for up to 6 months at either 4, 25 or 40 °C. The weight-average molar masses, Mw and intrinsic viscosities, [η] were then measured using size exclusion chromatography
