Selected characteristics of the synthesized HA derivatives.

Sample	sHA1	sHA2	sHA3
dss	1.2	1.8	3.0
𝑀𝑛 (g × mol^−1)	15 910 (39 540)	16 673 (43 993)	23 725 (29 275)
𝑀𝑤 (g × mol^−1)	26 790 (87 410)	32 370 (86 150)	29 525 (48 340)
PD	2.2	2.0	1.7

ds_s, number-average (𝑀_𝑛), and weight-average (𝑀_𝑤) molecular weights as determined by laser-light scattering (LLS) and refractive index (RI) (in parentheses) detection. Molecular weight distributions (polydispersity index (PD)) were determined based on the values calculated from RI detection.
