Abstract EN
Chitosan is a biopolymer derived from chitin which is naturally occurring in the exoskeleton of crustaceans.
This paper reports dissolution and regeneration of chitosan by directly dissolving in an ionic liquid solvent, 1-butyl-3-methylimidazolium chloride (BMIMCl).
This will provide an ideal platform to solubilise these kinds of polymers to achieve the dissolution.
The current study dissolved chitosan from crab shell utilising BMIMCl as a solvent and characterised the resultant regenerated polymer.
The regenerated chitosan showed increased hydrogen bonding when characterised by Fourier transform infrared (FTIR) spectral analysis.
In addition, the study also compared the characteristics of regenerated and generic chitosan.
The regenerated chitosan was also evaluated for antimicrobial properties and showed to possess antibacterial features similar to the commercial grade.
This method can be utilised in future for blending of polymers with chitosan in a dissolved phase.
