摘要
The physical properties of chitosan/PVA/plasticizer blends, prepared by casting, were investigated. It was found that the thermal properties (melting point, heat of fusion) for PVA showed a decrease proportional to the plasticizers' content. The percentage elongation and CO2 and water vapour permeability of chitosan/PVA blends were found to increase with an increase in plasticizer content. However, high plasticizer contents caused a substantial decrease in both tensile strength and modulus. The semi-empirical models, applied for calculating the mechanical properties and the CO2 permeability, were in satisfactory agreement with the experimental values, apart from a certain variation, which should be probably attributed to differences in molecular weight, percentage crystallinity and percentage of hydrolyzed or deacetylated material (PVA and chitosan, respectively).
