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.

INFLUENCE OF DIFFERENT CHANGES ON BIOAVAILABILITY OF MEDICINE CHITOSANS ANTIPHLOGISTIC DRUGS
The increased adsorption of anti-inflammatory drugs on polymer with pH increased from 7.6 to 8.0 may be explained by the swelling properties of chitosan, which increase with increasing environmental pH to alkaline levels...
ENZYMATIC PREPARATIONS FROM Mucor MOULDS AND THEIR APPLICATION IN OLIGOAMINOSACCHARIDES PRODUCTION
A method of chitosan hydrolysis catalyzed by intracellular chitosanolytic enzymes produced by strains of Mucor circinelloides and Mucor racemosus was developed within the scope of presented study. Hydrolysis of the biopo...
IN VIVO STIMULATION OF PERITONEAL CELLS BY CHITOSAN ADMINISTERED IN DRINKING WATER TO MICE
The aim of the study was to determine immunostimulant properties of chitosan administered alimentary to BALB/c mice. We observed that chitosan feeding effected in activation of cells from the peritoneal cavity. The cells...
THE INFLUENCE OF THE TYPE SOLVENT ON THE STRUCTURE OF CHITOSAN BLENDS WITH HYALURONIC ACID
The influence of the type solvent on the structure of chitosan, hyaluronic acid and their blend films was investigated. Aqueous acetic acid, hydrochloric acid, sodium chloride and aqueous acetic acid/NaCl were used as so...
NEW CHITOSAN WOUND DRESSING – FIRST STEP - THE CYTOTOXICITY EVALUATION
The cytotoxicity of chitosan with polyvinox (PCH) and crosslinked chitosan (CH) was studied and analyzed. Cell viability was determined by thiazolyl blue formazan (MTT) assay and cell morphology observations were carried...
