Preparation and characterization of antithrombogenic chitosan/alginate films with enhanced physical stability by cross-linking using layer-by-layer method

We successfully fabricated (chitosan/alginate) (CHI/ALG) multilayer thin film by layer-by-layer (LBL) method. Film durability was enhanced by forming cross-linking using heat treatment, glutaraldehyde, and calcium chloride. Indeed, the adsorption of fibrinogen onto CHI/ALG multilayer thin film was d...
