EFFECTS OF CHITOSAN CHARACTERISTICS ON ITS THERMAL STABILITY
2014
Brazilian Journal of Thermal Analysis
Chitosan samples exhibiting different characteristics, namely average degree of acetylation (7.5% < DA < 25.0%), viscosity average molecular weight (1.17x10 5 g mol -1 < Mv < 6.45x10 5 g mol -1 ) and crystallinity index (19.1% < CI < 52.7%), were produced by applying nonisothermal ultrasound-assisted deacetylation process (NIUSAD) to beta-chitin extracted from squid pens. The effects of these characteristics on the thermal stability of chitosan were investigated by performing thermal analysis
