The model explaining interaction between chitosan and DMPA is also valid for DPPC and DPPG monolayers.
Low molecular weight chitosans interact more strongly with DPPC and DPPG monolayers.
Penetration into the hydrophobic chains was confirmed with PM-IRRAS and SFG data.
Chitosan-rich and lipid-rich condensed domains are formed with chitosan incorporation.
Rh for LMWChi is smaller than for Chi which explains its easier access to hydrophobic tails.
