Samples of carboxymethyl chitosan have been synthesized with different extents of substitution by changing the reaction conditions. Carboxymethyl chitosan completely dissolves in water when the extent of substitution exceeds 90%. The theological properties were studied for 4% aqueous solutions of carboxymethyl chitosan with CaCl2 and Ca(OH)2 as additives as well as for a mixture of carboxymethyl chitosan and polyethylene oxide with added CaCl2. The introduction of additives to aqueous solutions of carboxymethyl chitosan leads to enhanced viscosity and gel formation.
