New Solvent and Coagulating Agent for Development of Chitosan Fibers by Wet Spinning

New Solvent and Coagulating Agent for Development of Chitosan Fibers by Wet Spinning

Adipic acid was evaluated as a novel solvent for wet spinning of chitosan fibers. A solvent with two carboxyl groups could act as a physical crosslinker between the chitosan chains, resulting in improved properties of the fibers. The performance of adipic acid was compared with conventional solvents...
