Solid state characterization of the structure of chitosan films
Abstract
Films of chitosan, prepared by different fabrication processes, were examined at several structural levels, from the molecular to the macroscopic. This revealed the presence of polymorphic crystal forms, which varied with film treatment. Similarly, morphological structures varying from spherulites to rods were formed, depending on film processing conditions. The effect of structure on the mechanical properties, as well as the orientability of the films, were also investigated.

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.
