Abstract
A new type of amphiphilic ramification, hydroxypropyl-N-octanealkyl chitosan was prepared from chitosan via hydrophilic group and hydrophobic group were introduced. We could protect the amino group of chitosan via the reaction of chitosan and benzaldehyde could get Schiff base structure. Structures of the products were characterized with FT-IR, elemental analysis, themogrammetry (TG) analysis and X-ray diffraction. The degree of substitution of hydrophobic group was studied by elemental analysis. The result showed this chitosan ramification was soluble, biocompatible, biodegradable and nontoxic.
