## Abstract Chitosan has wide range of applications as a biomaterial, but barriers still exist to its broader use due to its physical and chemical limitations. The present study evaluated the properties of the polymeric blend films obtained from chitosan and potato starch by the casting/solvent eva
Cellulose hydrogels have been synthesized by reacting solutions of cellulose xanthate with different amounts of epichlorohydrin (0-24% w/w on cellulose) after which the cellulose was regenerated. The weight fraction of crystalline cellulose, determined by density measurements, decreases with the ext
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.
We have studied the mechanical property and swelling behavior of semiinterpenetrating polymer networks (semi-IPNs) of poly(vinyl alcohol) (PVA) and polyurethane (PU) with reactive groups under different experimental conditions. Tensile strength and elongation of these semi-IPNs are strongly dependen
