Swelling and Antibacterial Properties of Chitosan/Poly(vinyl alcohol) Hybrid Hydrogels
Year: 2014 Journal: Applied Mechanics and Materials Vol: 672-674 Pages: 737-740 Publisher: Trans Tech Publications
Abstract
Chitosan (CTS) was added into poly (vinyl alcohol) (PVA) hydrogels to get their antibacterial properties. A series of CTS/PVA hybrid hydrogels were prepared by freezing/thawing method. The swelling properties of all hybrid hydrogels are better than those of the original PVA hydrogel. The CTS/PVA hybrid hydrogels show excellent antimicrobial performance towards Escherichia colis.
