  The purpose of this research was to develop water soluble textile modifiers based on biopolymer having improved textile properties including tensile strength, moisture absorption, wash resistance, dye-ability and colour fastness properties. Two fibre reactive chitosan derivatives such as N-(2-hydroxy) propyl-3-trimethylammonium chitosan chloride (HTAChC) and N-methylolacrylamide-N-(2-hydroxy) propyl-3-trimethylammonium chitosan chloride (NMAHTAChC) were synthesized from chitosan through dispersion of chitosan with glycidyltrimethylammonium chloride (GTMAC) in aqueous medium and dissolution of HTAChC in aqueous N-methylolacrylamide (NMA) solution in presence of NH4Cl and 4-methoxyphenol, respectively. The physicochemical properties of prepared derivatives were studied and the degree of quaternization (DQ) of HTAChC was 0.94, double bond content of the NMA-HTAChC was 0.926 mmol/g and mo..
