INFLUENCE OF LOW AND HIGH GLYCEROL CONCENTRATIONS ON WETTABILITY AND FLEXIBILITY OF CHITOSAN BIOFILMS

INFLUENCE OF LOW AND HIGH GLYCEROL CONCENTRATIONS ON WETTABILITY AND FLEXIBILITY OF CHITOSAN BIOFILMS

The use of chitosan biofilm in biomedical fields has a vast therapeutic potential due to useful properties such as biodegradability and antimicrobial activity, however, to achieve successful application some physicochemical properties need to be improved. In this context, the addition of glycerol to...
