Abstract
The first example of an unique and efficient method for the preparatio n of amphiphilic polysaccharides having self-assembling nature is desc ribed. Regio- and thermospecific chemical manipulations of a standardi zed intermediate derived from chitosan markedly facilitated the synthe tic procedures of novel types of polysaccharide architectures. Artific ial glycolipid-type polymers showed excellent properties to form stabl e monolayer membranes at air/water interface.
