## Abstract Films were prepared via solvent casting from different deacetylated and depolymerized chitosans obtained from ฮฒโchitin. The linear viscoelastic behavior of the chitosan films was studied with uniaxial tensile stressโrelaxation tests. All stressโrelaxation profiles exhibited an asymptoti

## Abstract Standard dry surface modification reactions have been applied to partially deacetylated chitosan without affecting its bulk properties. Chitin, extracted from shells of __Penaeus vannamei__, yielded chitosan with a degree of acetylation of 70% and molecular weight of 250โ000 D. The copo
## Abstract Hydrogelโforming copolymers based on chitosan grafted with different amounts of polyacrylamide were synthesized and its swelling capacity determined in distilled water, sodium chloride solutions, as well as in buffer solutions at pH 1.2 and 8.0. The resulting products are highly efficie
The swelling behavior of the complex film formed from pectin and chitosan was studied. The swelling degree increased sharply in the case of p H less than 2 and larger than 7. The swelling mechanisms of the complex film in acidic and alkaline medium are discussed, respectively. Moreover, the swelling
