Characteristics of Different Molecular Weight Chitosan Films Affected by the Type of Organic Solvents
Abstract
ABSTRACT: Chitosan films were prepared using 3 chitosan molecular weights and 4 organic acid solvents without plasticizer. Tensile strength (TS) and elongation (E) ranged from 6.7 to 150.2 MPa, and from 4.1 to 117.8%, respectively. Water vapor permeability (WVP) and oxygen permeability (OP) ranged from 0.3 to 0.7 ng‐m/m 2 ‐s‐Pa and OP from 0.4 to 5.8 × 10 −8 cc/m 2 ‐day‐atm, respectively. TS increased with chitosan molecular weight. Acetic acid resulted in the toughest films followed by malic, lactic, and citric acid, respectively. Films prepared with citric acid had the highest E values. WVP was not influenced significantly by the molecular weight of chitosan. OP of films prepared with malic acid was the lowest, followed by acetic, lactic, and citric acid.

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.
