Original chitosan with Mv of 2.7 × 105 was degraded by irradiation with γ-rays and a series of low molecular weight O-carboxymethylated chitosans (O-CMCh) were prepared based on the irradiated chitosan. A kinetic model of the irradiation of chitosan was put forward. Results show that the irradiation degradation of chitosan obeys the rule of random degradation and the degree of deacetylation of irradiated chitosan is slightly raised. The antibacterial activity of O-CMCh is significantly influenced by its MW, and a suppositional antibacterial peak appears when M v is equal to 2 × 105.
