HYDROXYAPATITE - CHITOSAN BIOCOMPOSITES
Journal Title: Progress on Chemistry and Application of Chitin and its Derivatives - Year 2008, Vol 0, Issue
Abstract
Both samples of HAp form with chitosan and it’s useful forms (MKCh, chitosan lactate) well shaped 3-dimentional forms – sponges. The sponges can be used as implants in orthopedic surgery. 3-dimentional structures of HAp/chitosan composites are a good base for scaffolds productin.

ISOLATION, MOLECULAR CLONING AND CHARACTERISATION OF TWO GENES CODING CHITIN DEACETYLASE FROM MUCOR CIRCINELLOIDES IBT-83
Chitosan is a linear N-deacetylated derivative of chitin, soluble in acetic solutions. The deacetylation of chitin can be achieved enzymatically using chitin deacetylase (ChDa) (EC 3.5.1.41), which hydrolyses the N-aceta...
THE STRENGTH OF CHITOSAN FILMS. THE ROLE OF MOLECULAR WEIGHT, THE DEGREE OF ORDER, THE NATURE OF CONTRE-ION
The deformational-strength characteristics of chitosan films with different molecular weight and the degree of deacetylation derived from water-acid solutions with different nature and concentration have been researched....
EFFECT OF A POLYVINYL ALCOHOL AND SELECTED AUXILIARY SUBSTANCES ON THE PROPERTIES OF THERMOSENSITIVE HYDROPHILIC GELS CONTAINING LACTIC ACID COMPLEXED WITH CHITOSAN
Gels containing lactic acid complexed with chitosan at a stechiometric ratio 1:1 and 2:1 and 5-25% content of PEG-200 reveal pH from 3.42 to 4.95. The addition of 20 – 25% poloxamer 407 increases the pH from 4.55 to 5.30...
INFLUENCE OF UV-IRRADIATION ON MOLECULAR WEIGHT OF CHITOSAN
In the present paper the results regarding the influence of UV-irradiation with 254 nm wavelength on the molecular weight of chitosan are presented. The concentration of chitosan solution was 0.5%(w/w) in 0.1 M acetic ac...
