The study presented in this paper has been carried out using a highly fractional factorial experimental design. This design allows the analysis of a greater number of factors and levels with a reduced number of mixes. In ...
Water absorption in chitosan rapidly increases when the deacetylation degree decreases between 85
and 45%. This seems to contradict the fact that water absorption in chitin is much lower than that of
chitosan. The aim ...
