Abstract
Literature on the modification of the natural polymer chitosan using high-energy chemistry methods (treatment by a low-temperature plasma, with an electron beam, energetic ions, or γ-iradiation) has been surveyed. The basic chitosan treatment procedures and facilities used in the processes have been described. The instrumental techniques used to study changes in the chemical structure and properties of modified chitosan have been considered. Data showing the possibility of using modified chitosan in medicine and biotechnology have been presented.
