## Abstract The main techniques developed to characterize chitosan are recalled. The interaction of chitosan with oppositely charged surfactants was investigated giving very important surface activity effects. A few chemical modifications are described and the new properties obtained are mentioned:

## Abstract The Michael reaction of chitosan with acrylic acid was carried out successfully, even in water alone as the reaction medium. As a consequence of its good solubility in water, the reaction product, __N__‐carboxyethylchitosan, showed excellent biodegradable properties with standard activa
## Abstract Four novel Schiff‐type chitosan (CTS)‐crown ethers were synthesized through a reaction between NH~2~ in CTS or crosslinked chitosan (CCTS) and CHO in 4′‐formylbenzo‐crown ethers, and four secondary‐amino‐type CTS‐crown ethers were prepared through the reduced reaction of NaBH~4~, resp
