VAPOUR PERMEATION STUDY OF WATER AND ETHANOL THROUGH CROSSLINKED CHITOSAN AND ALGINATE MEMBRANES
Journal Title: Progress on Chemistry and Application of Chitin and its Derivatives - Year 2015, Vol 0, Issue
Abstract
A vapour permeation of water and ethanol through homogenous chitosan and alginate membranes was investigated. The influence of the polymer matrix and crosslinking agents, and measurement protocol on the transport properties were discussed. The conducted experiments showed the greater separation factor, better stability and resistant to solvents for chemically crosslinked membranes. On the other hand, stronger association of the matrix, than the physical, caused decrease of vapour fluxes.

EFFECT OF IONIC CROSSLINKING ON DENSITY OF HYDROGEL CHITOSAN MEMBRANES
Ionically crosslinked chitosan membranes were prepared and their density was determined using modified pycnometer method. High‑molecular compound: sodium alginate (NaAlg) and low‑molecular compounds: pentasodium tripolyp...
EVALUATION OF PHYSICOCHEMICAL PROPERTIES OF SOLID DISPERSIONS OF BCS CLASS II SUBSTANCES WITH CHITOSAN
The BCS class II includes drugs with low solubility and high permeability. The substances require modification to increase their solubility in the upper part of the digestive system. Fenofibrate is an example of this cla...
COMPARISON OF IBUPROFEN RELEASE FROM DIBUTYRYLCHITIN AND POLYLACTIC ACID FILMS
The polymer films were developed from different materials - biodegradable polymers such as dibutyrylchitin (DBCH) and polylactid (PLA) to determine the release of ibuprofen and swelling kinetics at various pH of the envi...
CHITOSAN APPLIED FOR GYPSUM MODIFICATION
In order to improve the properties of gypsum materials, including workability, mechanical strength and ability to retain water, various admixtures (also polymers), known as plasticisers, have been applied. These polymers...
THE INFLUENCE OF SUBSTRATE COMPOSITION ON THE PHYSICOCHEMICAL PROPERTIES OF HYDROGELS WITH CHITOSAN
