Abstract
Abstract A spherically shaped material at least the surface layer of which comprises an acylated product of de-N-acetylated chitin. The spherical material is insoluble in water, acids, alkaline solutions and organic solvents. The materials can be employed to separate materials on a column, as a base material on which enzyme is immobilized and as an adsorbent, etc.
