The Chitosan-PEO blend membranes were produced to study their water adsorptions capacity and characteristics of the haemodialysis membrane application. An increase in the water adsorption capacity of chitosan-PEO blend membranes compared to the pure chitosan was due to the porous structure as evident from the scanning electron micrograph. Addition of PEO with higher molecular weight had reduced the percentage of water adsorption of the chitosan-PEO blend membranes. XRD results revealed that chitosan-PEO blend membrane with higher water adsorption ability shows lesser degree of amorphosity. Intermolecular interactions between chitosan and higher molecular PEO chains in the blend contributed to important alteration in chitosan structure as observed in the infrared spectroscopy which lessens the permeability of the membrane. 2014-05-28T07:39:05Z 2014-05-28T07:39:05Z 2005 Article American Journal of Applied Sciences, vol. 2(12), 2005, pages 1578-1583 1546-9239 (Print) 1554-3641 (Online) http://thescipub.com/html/10.3844/ajassp.2005.1578.1583 http://dspace.unimap.edu.my:80/dspace/handle/123456789/34825 10.3844/ajassp.2005.1578.1583 en Science Publications |
