Chitin is a complex polysaccaride which is the potential biodegradable biopolymer with characteristics of biocompatability and blood compatability, and it has a very good potential for a lot of medical applications.
In this study, a colorless and transparent CHITULOSE FILM which made from the mixture of chitin and cellulose was used. When the degrees of diffusion of water and organic compounds were tested, those of cellulose film were lower compared to those of film containing chitin.
The degree of diffusion of CHITULOSE FILM showed high values for ionic organic compounds compared to nonionic organic compounds.
