Novel pH-sensitive physically crosslinked hydrogels were synthesized by grafting D,L-lactic acid (LA) onto the amino groups in chitosan (CS) without a catalyst. The structures of these graft copolymers were analyzed by FTIR and X-ray measurements. Degree of substitution, side-chain length, and yield

Abstract
Chitosan grafted oligo(L‐lactic acid) copolymers with different length of side chain were prepared through the reaction of terminal aldehyde group of oligo(L‐lactic acid) (OLLA) and amino groups of chitosan. The mean molecular mass of the grafting OLLA chain was ca. 600 ∼ 5 000. The graft copolymers are soluble in DMSO, DMF and acetic acid. The synthesis method and structure described here provide chitosan‐g‐OLLA copolymers with broad applicability.

A series of chemical modifications of chitosan were conducted by grafting a hydrophilic methoxy poly(ethylene glycol) (MPEG) and a target sugar molecule lactobionic acid (LA). The MPEG was grafted onto C6-OH position of chitosan, and the grafting degree was reduced for chitosan with high degree of d
O-carboxymethyl chitosan (CMCH) was prepared and characterized by FTIR spectroscopy and X-ray diffraction. Grafting of methacrylic acid (MA) onto CMCH using ceric ammonium nitrate (CAN) as an initiator was carried out under nitrogen atmosphere in aqueous solution. Evidence of grafting was confirmed
## Abstract Two new adsorbents [β‐cyclodextrin–chitosan (β‐CD–CTS) and β‐cyclodextrin‐6–chitosan (β‐CD‐6‐CTS)] were synthesized by the reaction of β‐cyclodextrin (β‐CD) with epoxy‐activated chitosan (CTS) and the sulfonation of the C‐6 hydroxyl group of β‐cyclodextrin with CTS, respectively. Their
## Abstract Novel poly(L‐lactic acid) (PLLA)–chitosan hybrid scaffolds were developed in order to be used as tissue‐engineering scaffolds and drug release carriers. The incorporation of chitosan into the PLLA porous structure allows for producing chitosan‐based scaffold devices with interesting dam
