## Abstract The swelling of membranes of the polyelectrolyte complex (PEC) between chitosan and alginate shows a similar pattern to that of other PECs. However, if the swelled membranes are dried, a second swelling process is seen which exhibits Fickian behavior. The apparent activation energy was

A range of commercial chitosans were sourced, subjected to controlled acid hydrolysis, and their molecular size profiles and degrees of acetylation (DA) determined (pre-and post-hydrolysis) by High Performance Size Exclusion Chromatography and 1 H-NMR spectroscopy, respectively. Unhydrolysed and hyd
## Abstract Chitosan prepared from natural biopolymer chitin and cast into membranes has been tested as wound dressing at the skinβgraft donor site in patients. Bactigras, a commonly used impregnated tulle gras bandage, served as a control. Chitosan membrane, prepared with a 75% degree of deacetyla
