Conformational and complexing properties of lignosulfonates and chitosan
Hydrodynamical and conformation characteristics of lignosulphonates (LSNa) and сhitosan ChT in water solutions have been estimated. It has been concluded that LSNa is a rigid chain branched polymer, while ChT is moderately rigid chain linear polymer. During complexation process, LSNa and ChT accept energetically favorable conformation in the complex, with AG approximately -7.0 kJ/mol.
