Crosslinked chitosan/poly (vinyl alcohol) blends with proton conductivity characteristic

Crosslinked Chitosan/Poly(Vinyl Alcohol) Blends with Proton Conductivity Characteristic

A quitosana é um polissacarídeo natural obtido a partir da reação de desacetilação da quitina, sendo o polímero natural mais abundante, que apresenta propriedades químicas e físicas atrativas, como por exemplo, as requeridas para obtenção de membranas poliméricas. Neste trabalho a quitosana em solução de ácido clorídrico foi quimicamente modificada com ácido sulfosuccínico (SSA), o qual reticul...

The rheological behavior of collagen dispersion/poly(vinyl alcohol) blends

Blends of collagen dispersion (COL) with poly(vinyl alcohol) (PVA) in different weight ratios were investigated by oscillatory rheometry, Fourier transform-infrared spectroscopy and scanning electron microscopy. It was found that even with 80% of PVA, the COL/PVA blends behaved more like collagen dispersion than pure PVA solution in the dynamic thermal and frequency processing, for instance, a ...

Separator Membrane from Crosslinked Poly(Vinyl Alcohol) and Poly(Methyl Vinyl Ether-alt-Maleic Anhydride)

In this work, we report separator membranes from crosslinking of two polymers, such as poly vinyl alcohol (PVA) with an ionic polymer poly(methyl vinyl ether-alt-maleic anhydride) (PMVE-MA). Such interpolymer-networked systems were extensively used for biomedical and desalination applications but they were not examined for their potential use as membranes or separators for batteries. Therefore,...

Poly(vinyl alcohol)-poly(vinyl pyrrolidone) blends: Preparation and characterization for a prospective medical application

Poly(vinyl alcohol) and poly(vinyl pyrrolidone) were blended and films were obtained by casting method. Glutaraldehyde, hydrochloric acid and lactic acid were added to investigate their effect on mechanical properties, swelling and solubility of the blends with the aim to find a possible material candidate for medium or long term implants. Combination of all three additives (lactic acid, glutar...
