HYDROXYAPATITE - CHITOSAN BIOCOMPOSITES
Journal Title: Progress on Chemistry and Application of Chitin and its Derivatives - Year 2008, Vol 0, Issue
Abstract
Both samples of HAp form with chitosan and it’s useful forms (MKCh, chitosan lactate) well shaped 3-dimentional forms – sponges. The sponges can be used as implants in orthopedic surgery. 3-dimentional structures of HAp/chitosan composites are a good base for scaffolds productin.

SURFACE PROPERTIES OF CHITOSAN ACETATE, POLYACRYLAMIDE AND THEIR MIXTURES
The surface properties of chitosan acetate (ChA), polyacrylamide (PAM) and ChA/PAM mixtures have been investigated by the tapping-mode atomic force microscopy (AFM) and monitored by contact angle measurements. Chitosan i...
ADSORPTION OF BASIC YELLOW 28 (BY 28) AND ACID YELLOW 23 (AY 23) DYES ONTO CHITIN
The present study investigated the sorption of Basic Yellow 28 (BY 28) and Acid Yellow 23 (AY 23) by chitin flakes. The study determined the influence of pH value on adsorption effectiveness and the adsorption capacity o...
CHEMICAL MODIFICATION OF CHITOSAN WITH FATTY ACIDS
This paper presents the results of chitosan modification with fatty acids, namely linoleic and oleic acid. We used carbodiimide as the initiator for the reaction of carboxyl and aminoglycoside functional groups. The anal...
VAPOUR PERMEATION STUDY OF WATER AND ETHANOL THROUGH CROSSLINKED CHITOSAN AND ALGINATE MEMBRANES
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 propert...
THE STUDY OF PHYSICOCHEMICAL PROPERTIES OF SOLID DISPERSIONS OF IBUPROFEN IN THE PRESENCE OF CHITOSAN
The aim of the present study was to increase the solubility of ibuprofen. Among the methods to increase the solubility selected solid dispersions of the drug with the polymer. Chitosan was used as the polymer. Solid disp...
