Abstract

Degradation of chitosan in solution under the action of redox radical initiators was studied with the aim to prepare chemically oligomers of natural polysaccharides. The influence of temperature on the rate and extent of the process was examined. The optimal ratios of the substrate to initiator and of the reductant to oxidant in the initiating system were determined.
