摘要：Water-soluble and white quaternized chitin (QC) was homogeneously synthesized by stirring transparent chitin solution (2%) in 8 wt%NaOH/4 wt% urea aqueous solution containing 2,3-Epoxypropyltrimethylammonium Chloride (EPTMAC) at 10 degrees C for 24h. The structure and properties of quaternized chitin were characterized by FT-IR, XRD, (1)H NMR, GPC, element analysis and zeta-potential. The results indicate that quaternary groups were successfully incorporated onto chitin backbones and the degree of substitution (DS) of quaternary groups can be easily adjusted by changing the molar ratio of chitin unit to EPTMAC. Additionally, quaternized chitin shows better antibacterial activity against Escherichia coli and Staphylococcus aureus as compared with chitosan. Thus, this work provides a simply and "green" method to functionalize chitin and the resulting quaternized chitin may have potential applications in environmental, food and biomedical fields.
