Abstract
A review of the amphiphilic derivatives of chitin, obtained by covalent grafting of hydrophilic and hydrophobic radicals, is given. It is shown that water-soluble alkylated derivatives of chitin and chitosan, as well as surfactant-polyelectrolyte complexes between oppositely charged surfactants, exhibit interfacial activity, forming structured (gel-like) adsorption layers (AL). Gel formation inside AL of chitin derivatives is characterized by means of interfacial dilational rheometry.
