Dependence of Water-Permeable Chitosan Membranes on Chitosan Molecular Weight and Alkali Treatment
Chitosan membranes were prepared by the casting method combined with alkali treatment. The molecular weight of chitosan and the alkali treatment influenced the water content and water permeability of the chitosan membranes. The water content increased as the NaOH concentration was increased from 1 t...
