Chitosan Membranes Exhibiting Shape Memory Capability by the Action of Controlled Hydration
Chitosan membranes can undergo a glass transition at room temperature triggered by hydration. The mechanical properties of the membranes were followed by a tension test and dynamic mechanical analysis (DMA), with the sample in wet conditions after being immersed in varying compositions of water/etha...
