Presents data on thermal relaxation properties of chitosan neutralised and non-neutralised films as a function of water content using dynamical mechanical analysis and dielectric spectroscopy in the temperature range from 20 to 250 C. This book discusses various relaxation processes in chitosan films.

The polyelectrolyte complexes formed due to electrostatic attraction between the polymers, have improved properties when compared to hybrid CTS-g-GMA, which provides a wide range of applications in the biomedical field. All materials have been characterised by different analytical techniques such as infrared spectroscopy (FTIR), X-ray diffraction (XRD), thermal analysis (DSC and TGA), and the results were compared to the precursor materials (chitosan, X, HA, and CTS-g-GMA). Due to the HA nature, the film obtained from this reaction has been assessed for use as a patch for wound healing;...
