Abstract:
Watersoluble hydroxybutyl chitosan(HBCS) was prepared by the reaction of chitosan(CS) with 1,2butane oxidation in an alkali solution. The structure of HBCS was characterized by FTIR and solid state 13C NMR, and the results prove that the hydroxybutyl has been successfully connected to chitosan molecular chain. The degree of hydroxybutyl substitution estimated by means of elemental ananlysis is 1.2. Besides, HBCS exhibited good watersolubility and could dissolve in aqueous solutions in a broader pH range. Incomparison with CS, HBCS shows a poorer thermostability. This is because the modified reaction destroys the crystalline region of chitosan. Antibacterial activities of CS and the modified derivative were explored by turbidity method. The results show that HBCS exhibits antibacterial activity against E.coli and S.aureus, and with the increase of concentration, the antibacterial effect enhances obviously. It was found that the antimicrobial activity of HBCS is weaker than that of CS under the same mass concentrations.
