## Abstract Blends of polycaprolactone (PCL) and chitosan (CHT) were prepared by casting from a solution. CHT and PCL were dissolved by using acetic acid/water mixtures. Both solutions were slowly mixed to cast blend films containing 10%, 20%, 30%, and 40% by weight of CHT. PCL and CHT form phase s

## Abstract Differential scanning calorimetry (DSC), FTIR, Xβray diffraction (XRD), and viscosity methods were used to examine the miscibility, interaction, and degradability of cationic guar gum (GG) and sodium carboxymethylcellulose (NaCMC) in their blend films. The experiment results prove that
## Abstract Blends of polycaprolactone (PCL) and chitosan (CHT) were prepared by casting from the mixture of solutions of both components in suitable solvents. PCL, and CHT, form phase separated blends with improved mechanical properties and increased water sorption ability with respect to pure PCL
