Facile tailoring the morphology and water-solubility of chitosan
Yinghao Fu

T
he solubility of chitosan is depended on its morphology mainly when its chemical structure was fixed. In view of this, we
intended to modulate the water-solubility through tuning its morphology. Both the entanglement and crystalline degrees
of chitosan could be varied through a common dissolution and precipitation processes, which resulted in the change of the
water-solubility of chitosan accordingly. Several possible morphology models were presented for various samples obtained by
simply changing the amount of solvents and precipitants. As a result, chitosan was able to be dissolved in water in absence of acid.
