ABSTRACT
As a naturally-abundant biopolymer, chitosan (CS) exhibit pH-sensitive structural transformation within a narrow pH range. Integrating hydrophobic groups to CS molecules gives modified CS polymers with more adjustable pH responsiveness. In this paper, near-infrared (NIR) photoluminescent Ag
