## Abstract This study investigates the improved swelling behavior of chitosan/poly(acrylic acid) complex by solvent (methanol, ethanol, and acetone) extraction. The complex is developed by photoinitiated freeβradical polymerization of acrylic acid in the presence of chitosan. The swelling ratio of
## Abstract Potassium persulfate (K~2~S~2~O~8~) was used to initiate the polymerization of acrylic acid (AA) monomer in a chitosan (CS) solution. Both a poly(acrylic acid) (PAA) homopolymer and a CSβ__co__βPAA copolymer were produced. When the amount of AA was increased from 5 to 40 g with 5 g of C
Successive differential sorptions have been measured for the system polyelectrolyte complex of poly(acrylic acid)/poly(4-vinylpyridine) + water vapor. The sorption data revealed that the sorption process of water vapor in the complex is controlled not only by diffusion mechanism but also by relaxati
