Chitin and Chitosan Solutions

摘要: Polyelectrolytes ionize forming polyions when dissolved in water or other polar solvents. The rheological behavior of solutions differs substantially from that non-charged polymers because the presence electrostatic interactions between neighboring groups and polyions-counterions medium. Current literature provides partial descriptions selected polyelectrolytes as a phenomenological view causes-effects. lack knowledge these causes-effects makes it difficult uncertain to interpret predict solution, at different solution conditions.
