Infrared spectra (IR) revealed that there was a substitution reaction mainly on the amine groups of chitosan (CS). By using paracetamol (PCTM) as a model drug, the balanced release concentration of PCTM in phosphate buffer solution (pH=7.4) can be decreased with the increase of degree of substitution alkyl and can be reduced effectively even under a lower PCTM loading.展开更多
