Abstract :The concentrations of linker group effect different physicochemical features of the biopolymer, including thermal stability, shape, swelling, and water solubility. Herein, three novel chitosan insert ignore into journalissuearticles values(CH); based films insert ignore into journalissuearticles values(CHSD1-3); have been prepared by a facile method for their film characteristics. Thus, amphiphilic salicylaldehydediol insert ignore into journalissuearticles values(SD); was synthesized from hydrophilic glycidol and salicylaldehyde in high yield and regioselectivity. CHSD1-3 films were prepared by the imine condensation reaction of polymeric chitosan backbone and various ratios of SD linker. The reaction takes place with high conversation and amazingly mechanically resistant thickness films without using any plasticizer that exhibits low water solubility and low swelling ratios at pH > 3, which can be suggested as thin layer protecting systems for medical devices. Chitosan-salicylaldehydediol biopolymer films were characterized by Fourier transform infrared insert ignore into journalissuearticles values(FT-IR); spectroscopy, differential scanning calorimetry insert ignore into journalissuearticles values(DSC);, and X-ray diffraction insert ignore into journalissuearticles values(XRD); methods. The FT-IR, DSC, and XRD results show a clear linkage of the SD group to the chitosan backbone, high thermal stability of the films, and a change in the original nature of chitosan, respectively. Scanning Electron Microscopy insert ignore into journalissuearticles values(SEM); observations have also supported the successful grafting of the SD group onto the chitosan.
