Chitosan and modified chitosan membranes I. Preparation and characterisation
Abstract
Chitosan has been prepared from prawn shell and crab shell chitin. The molecular weight of the material derived from prawn shells is higher than that obtained from crab shell. The molecular weight, tensile strength, elongation at the break, and hydrophilic properties of chitosan are extremely dependent on the degree of deacetylation achieved when chitin is hydrolyzed to chitosan. Graft copolymers have been prepared with chitosan and a series of vinyl monomers using both heterogeneous and homogeneous reaction conditions. The hydrophilic properties of chitosan can be modified by blending with poly(vinyl alcohol).

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
