Abstract

The synthesis and surface properties of aqueous solutions of salts of chitosan and di-, tri-, and oligo(ethylene oxide) sulfonic acids are described. It is shown that, unlike chitosan acetate solutions, the solutions of chitosan oligo(ethylene oxide) sulfonate feature a pronounced surface activity and good foam-forming properties; this makes the latter compounds candidates for use in foam technologies of fiber and textile finishing.
