Homogeneous Synthesis of Cationic Chitosan via New Avenue

Using a solvent formed of alkali and urea, chitosan was successfully dissolved in a new solvent via the freezing–thawing process. Subsequently, quaternized chitosan (QC) was synthesized using 3-chloro-2-hydroxypropyl trimethyl ammonium chloride (CHPTAC) as the cationic reagent under different incuba...
