MECHANISM OF FORMATION OF THERMOSENSITIVE CHITOSAN CHLORIDE GELS
Journal Title: Progress on Chemistry and Application of Chitin and its Derivatives - Year 2014, Vol 0, Issue
Abstract
In these studies, an attempt has been made to explain the mechanism of gel formation. The studies were carried out to develop the mechanism of chitosan gel formation in the presence of glycerol phosphate GP, taking into account suggestions presented in the literature. The analysis was carried out on the basis of a change in the gel structure after conditioning in water.
