Measurement errors in water vapor permeability of highly permeable, hydrophilic edible films
TL;DR: In this paper, the air gap resistance of high-water vapor-transmitting hydrophilic edible films is corrected to account for the air layer resistance, which can lead to underestimation of water vapor transmission rates.
Journal ArticleDOI
Mechanical and barrier properties of edible chitosan films as affected by composition and storage
TL;DR: Oxygen permeability coefficients (OP), water vapor permeability coefficient (WVP), ethylene percolation coefficient (EP), tensile strength (TS), and percent elongation (%E) at break values were determined for chitosan films plasticized with glycerin at two concentrations (0.25 and 0.50 mL/g CHITOSAN) after 0, 2, 4, 8 and 12 wk of storage as mentioned in this paper.
Journal ArticleDOI
Thermal properties of thermoplastic starch/synthetic polymer blends with potential biomedical applicability.
TL;DR: The thermal behavior of these structurally complex materials is investigated by differential scanning calorimetry (DSC) and by thermogravimetric analysis (TGA) and Fourier-transform infrared (FTIR) spectroscopy was used to investigate the chemical interactions between the different components.
Journal ArticleDOI
Chitosan Film Mechanical and Permeation Properties as Affected by Acid, Plasticizer, and Storage
TL;DR: In this paper, the effects of acid (acetic, formic, lactic, propionic) concentrations, plasticizer concentrations, and storage time (up to 9 wk) on mechanical properties, water vapor permeability, and oxygen permeability of solution-cast chitosan films were determined.

Characteristics of Different Molecular Weight Chitosan Films Affected by the Type of Organic Solvents
TL;DR: In this paper, chitosan films were prepared using 3 chitoshan molecular weights and 4 organic acid solvents without plasticizer, and the results showed that tensile strength and elongation increased with the molecular weight.
