Abstract :
Degradation of chitosan by electrochemical process was investigated and the effect on the degradation of chitosan was demonstrated by means of determination of viscometry and gel permeation chromatography (GPC). The structures of the original and degraded chitosan were characterized by Fourier transform infrared spectra (FT-IR) and ultraviolet spectra (UV) analysis. The experimental results showed that chitosan can be effectively degraded by an electrochemical process.
