Synthesis and Characterization of an Amphiphilic Linoleic Acid-g-Quaternary Chitosan with Low Toxicity

Table 1

Chemical compositions and properties of polymer micelles ().

Sample	(C)/(O)	Standard deviation (%)	Degree of quaternization (%)	Degree of substitution (%)
CS	1.13	0.3	—	—
QCS	1.41	2.3	42.6	—
LA-g-QC	2.05	1.6	—	27.4

Note. (C)/(O): the rate of the number of carbon elements to the number of oxygen elements in polymer. The table showed the degree of quaternization of the QCS and the degree of substitution of LA-g-QC through the elemental analysis.
