Hydrogels were prepared from poly(vinyl alcohol) and chitosan in various blend ratios. The water contents of the hydrogels were in the range of 65 to 75 wt %. The attachment and growth of fibroblast cells (L-929) on the hydrogels were studied with a cell culture method. On the hydrogels with more th
The dynamic behavior of water in crosslinked chitosan (cr-CS) was studied at the molecular level by proton nuclear magnetic resonance ( 1 H-NMR) spectroscopy and positron annihilation lifetime spectroscopy (PALS). Proton line width was used as a direct parameter of local mobility during swelling. Th
The state and mobility of water in crosslinked chitosan-polyether semi interpenetrating network (IPN) (cr-CS-PE semi-IPN) was studied using differential scanning calorimetry (DSC) and nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR), respectively. The effect of water content on free volume for water in gel network
Four types chitosan-based hydrogels have been prepared: cross-linked chitosan (cr-CS), cross-linked chitosan interpenetrating polyether polymer network (cr-CS/PE semi-IPN), cocross-linked chitosan and gelatin hybrid polymer network (CS/Gel HPN), and Chitosan/ Pectin (CS/Ptn) ionic complex hydrogels.
