  • Title: Alkyl-Chitosan-Based Adhesive: Water Resistance Improvement.
    Author: Mati-Baouche N, Delattre C, de Baynast H, Grédiac M, Mathias JD, Ursu AV, Desbrières J, Michaud P.
    Journal: Molecules; 2019 May 23; 24(10):. PubMed ID: 31126129.
    Abstract:
    A chemical modification by grafting alkyl chains using an octanal (C8) on chitosan was conducted with the aim to improve its water resistance for bonding applications. The chemical structure of the modified polymers was determined by NMR analyses revealing two alkylation degrees (10 and 15%). In this study, the flow properties of alkyl-chitosans were also evaluated. An increase in the viscosity was observed in alkyl-chitosan solutions compared with solutions of the same concentration based on native chitosan. Moreover, the evaluation of the adhesive strength (bond strength and shear stress) of both native and alkyl-chitosans was performed on two different double-lap adherends (aluminum and wood). Alkyl-chitosans (10 and 15%) maintain sufficient adhesive properties on wood and exhibit better water resistance compared to native chitosan.
