EFFECT OF A POLYVINYL ALCOHOL AND SELECTED AUXILIARY SUBSTANCES ON THE PROPERTIES OF THERMOSENSITIVE HYDROPHILIC GELS CONTAINING LACTIC ACID COMPLEXED WITH CHITOSAN
Journal Title: Progress on Chemistry and Application of Chitin and its Derivatives - Year 2013, Vol 0, Issue
Abstract
Gels containing lactic acid complexed with chitosan at a stechiometric ratio 1:1 and 2:1 and 5-25% content of PEG-200 reveal pH from 3.42 to 4.95. The addition of 20 – 25% poloxamer 407 increases the pH from 4.55 to 5.30 for 1:1 gels and from 4.00 to 4.85 for 2:1 gels. The addition of 0.5% polyvinyl alcohol decreases the pH of the investigated gels from 4.00 to 4.55 for 1:1 gels and from 3.85 to 4.40 for 2:1 gels. The addition of poloxamer 407 at concentrations of 20 to 25% increases the dynamic viscosity from 506.14 to 641.20 for 1:1 and from 540.35 to 692.55 for 2:1 ratios. The addition of 0.5% polyvinyl alcohol increases the dynamic viscosity from 590.20 to 720.63 for 1:1 and from 560.90 to 698.82 for 2:1 ratios. The addition of polyvinyl alcohol and auxiliary substances reduces the pH and maintains high adhesion.

CHITOSAN MICROSPHERES PREPARED BY MEMBRANE EMULSIFICATION FOR CHROMIUM REMOVAL FROM AQUEOUS SOLUTIONS
Chitosan is naturally abundant biopolymer that could be used as chelating sorbent for removal of metal ions from aqueous solutions. In this study the uniform-sized chitosan microspheres and their modified derivatives wer...
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...
NEW CHITOSAN STRUCTURES IN THE FORM OF THE THERMOSENSITIVE GELS
Chitosan hydrogels can be formed at normal body temperature with the use of β-sodium glycerophosphate. An optimum deacetylation degree of chitosan to form a gel is around 80 - 90%. Chitosan solutions with high DD (97%) s...
