Abstract
In this paper, studies on the reaction parameters of sulfation of pullulan with SO3, used as a complex with organic bases are reported. The difference s in reactivity of pullulan towards dextran sulfation were attributed both to the differences of structures of two polysaccharides and to the differen ces of their solubilities in the reaction media. The influence of the react ion conditions on the characteristics of the macromolecular chain was inves tigated. (C) 2001 Elsevier Science Ltd. All rights reserved.
