Can Chitosan Be Depolymerized by Thermal Shock?
Chitosan is a biopolymer with a wide range of applications. It typically requires depolymerization to achieve a desired molecular weight for specific uses. This study investigated the potential for depolymerizing chitosan by thermal shock and grinding to produce nanochitosan. A series of thermal sho...
