Study Notes
Solid-State Synthesis of Allyl-Substituted Chitosan Derivatives
-
Advantages of Solid-State Synthesis:
- Significantly lower reagent consumption compared to heterogeneous synthesis.
- High process speed (few minutes).
- Avoids the use of alkali.
- High efficiency, simplicity, and cleanliness.
Comparison of Solid-State and Liquid-Phase Synthesis
-
Solid-State Synthesis:
- Requires the introduction of 8-10 unsaturated groups per 100 parts of polymer.
-
Liquid-Phase Synthesis:
- Requires a content of at least 0.75 moles of unsaturated groups per polymer link.
- Must be conducted at 70°C for 4 hours.
- Requires a specific ratio of chitosan:NaOH:AB (1:3:2).
Extrusion Process
- The synthesis is carried out using a pilot twin-screw extruder with parallel rotation of screws.
- The extrusion process is conducted at controlled heating in four zones.
Materials Used
- Chitosan (molecular weight of 80,000, degree of acetylation of 0.15)
- Allyl bromide (AB; 99%)
- Sodium hydroxide (analytical grade; microprills, 99%)
Application Potential
- The synthesized materials can be used as polymer implants with specified internal structure for regenerative medicine purposes.
- This expands the field of practical application of chitosan and the range of biocompatible polymers suitable for structuring with laser technologies.
