Effects of hydrophilic plasticizers on mechanical, thermal, and surface properties of chitosan films.
TL;DR: It is found that GLY and PEG are more suitable as chitosan plasticizers than EG and PG by taking into account their plasticization efficiency and storage stability, and plasticization increases film hydrophilicity.
