Synthesis and physicochemical characterization of chemically modified chitosan by succinic anhydride

The N-succinil-chitosan is a chemically modified derivative of the biopolymer chitosan. The succinic anhydride attached to the free amino groups presented along the chitosan's polymer chain imparts to the molecule different physicochemical properties not exhibited before the modification. These...
