Research ArticleOpen accessEvery word in the titleCharacterization of Chitosan-poly (Ethylene Oxide) Blends as Haemodialysis MembraneN. F. Mohd Nasir, N. Mohd Zain, M. G. Raha, N. A. KadriBlend membranes of chitosan and poly (ethylene oxide) with different molecular weights of 100,000 and 600,000 were prepared by the solution cast technique. The Chitosan-PEO blend membranes were produced to study their water adsorptions capacity and characteristics of the haemodialysis membrane application. An increase in the water adsorption capacity of chitosan-PEO blend membranes compared to the pure chitosan was due … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 2, Issue 12 · 31 Dec 2005 · 8,426 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessEvery word in the titlePreparation of Rosemary Collagen Chitosan Blend Membrane Using Response Surface Methodology (RSM)Ming He, Yuhan Zhai, Yuqing Zhang et al.The present research provided a formula for the optimization of rosemary/collagen/chitosan blend membrane. Rosemary Extract (RE) was used as additive and membrane was prepared using tensile strength, elongation at break and elongation length as the indexes. The results of single factor experiment showed that the addition ratio of collagen to chitosan, additive content, glycerol content and drying temperature all affected … …American Journal of Biochemistry and Biotechnology, Vol. 17, Issue 4 · 22 Nov 2021 · 6,239 accessesView PDFCite
