Preparation of a polyelectrolyte complex gel from chitosan and κ‐carrageenan and its pH‐sensitive swelling
Abstract
A polyelectrolyte complex gel was prepared by mixing chitosan and k‐carrageenan solutions in the presence of NaCl. To study the effect of ambient pH on the swelling behavior, the diameter of the cylindrical gel(4 mm x 8 mm) immersed in aqueous NaOH, KOH, or HCl solution was measured. In the range of pH 10–12, the diameter increased with time, and the gel reached swelling equilibrium within 6 days. In an NaOH solution of pH 10.5, the maximum swelling occurred, and the volume of the gel at equilibrium was 10.2 times as large as the initial one. At pH below 9 and at pH 13, no swelling was observed. Thus, the swelling of the complex gel prepared in this study was sensitive to a rather narrow range of pH. The swelling equilibrium in the presence of NaCl was also investigated at various pH. © 1993 John Wiley & Sons, Inc.

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
