This paper presents the results of chitosan modification with fatty acids, namely linoleic and oleic acid. We used carbodiimide as the initiator for the reaction of carboxyl and aminoglycoside functional groups. The analysis of infrared spectra confirmed the formation of chitosan derivatives. Their hydrophilic-hydrophobic properties were determined by O/W emulsification and micelles formation in aqueous systems.
