Preparation and Characterization of Chitosan/Polyvinyl Alcohol Blends-A Rheological Study
Blends of chitosan (CS) and polyvinyl alcohol (PVA) of different proportions (considering chitosan as the main component) were prepared. The rheological properties of the obtained blend solutions such as the shearing viscosity and the shear stress were investigated as a function of shear rate under...
