The aim of this study was the synthesis of chitin esters, which at a later stage could be used to produce
antibacterial textiles. The esterification of chitin was carried out using butyric anhydride, succinic
anhydride and methanesulfonic acid as a catalyst. The produced products were analysed by FTIR and
NMR techniques and the dynamic apparent viscosity of the spinning solutions was examined. The
products containing butyl and succinic anhydride in molar ratios 95/5 and 85/15 showed the best
properties.
