A precise and comprehensive macromolecular characterization of chitosans is of importance in chitosan science, as the properties of these polymers heavily depend on the degree of acetylation, the distribution of molar masses, and ultimately, the deacetylation sequence (deacetylation pattern). Any scientific work presented without the structural characterization of chitosan cannot be considered reproducible and should […]
