Sorbitol-Plasticized and Neutralized Chitosan Membranes as Skin Substitutes

Sorbitol-Plasticized and Neutralized Chitosan Membranes as Skin Substitutes

Chitosan is soluble in diluted acid solutions and can easily form films by casting. However, residual acid neutralization should be performed for biomedical applications what may compromise physical and mechanical properties of the films. Thus, plasticizers can be added to improve these properties....
