ionic liquids are greatly used in processing of natural polymer material. Chitosan
obtained by
N
-deacetylation of Chitin
which is the most abundant natural alkaline polysaccharides. Chitosan is a biocompatible polymer that is reported to exhibit a great variety of useful properties such as bio-degradability
hygroscopic
antibacterial
spinnablity and film forming
and has a promising future used in medicine
foods
textile
paper making and daily chemical industry. In recent years
ionic liquids have been studied in chitosan as green solvents
reaction media for homogeneous chitosan derivatizations
composites processing and electrochemical biosensors. In this paper
