General description

Glycidyltrimethylammonium chloride (GTMAC) is a cationizing agent commonly used for starch modification.

Application

Glycidyltrimethylammonium chloride be used as a derivatizing agent to synthesize N-(2-hydroxypropyl)-3-trimethylammonium chitosan chloride (HTCC), a water-soluble chitosan derivative, by reacting with chitosan. HTCC can form nanocomposite films with silver nanoparticles that show good antimicrobial property and optical transparency. Cationic starches can also be prepared by derivatization of starch with GTMAC.

A nanostructure lipid carrier (NLC) composed of solid, and liquid lipid as a core has been developed as a delivery system for hydrophobic drug molecules. The aim of this research was to fabricate an oleoyl-quaternized-chitosan (CS)-coated NLC, where the mucoadhesive

Soft cationic core/shell cellulose nanospheres can deform and interpenetrate allowing their self-assembly into densely packed colloidal nanogel layers. Taking advantage of their water-swelling capacity and molecular accessibility, the nanogels are proposed as a new and promising type of coating material

Our previous study (Z. X. Peng et al., Carbohydr. Polym. 81:275-283, 2010) demonstrated that water-soluble quaternary ammonium salts, which are produced by the reaction of chitosan with glycidyl trimethylammonium chloride, provide chitosan derivatives with enhanced antibacterial ability. Because biofilm formation
