Preparation of novel chitosan derivatives bearing quaternary phosphonium (N-QPCS)
A new method for improving water-solubility and antibacterial activity of chitosan
Observing enhanced antibacterial activity against S. aureus and E. coli for N-QPCS
N-QPCS are obviously more soluble than chitosan at a wide pH range.
The antibacterial activities of N-QPCS are significantly better than that of chitosan.
