Preparation of Citric Acid Crosslinked Chitosan/Poly(Vinyl Alcohol) Blend Membranes for Creatinine Transport
ABSTRACT: Preparation of
membrane using crosslinking reaction between chitosan and citric acid showed
that functional group modification increased the number of active carrier
groups which lead to better transport capacity of the membrane. In addition,
the substitution of the carboxyl group increased creatinine permeation of
chitosan membrane. The transport capacity of citric acid crosslinked chitosan
membrane for creatinine was found to be 6.3 mg/L. The presence of
cyanocobalamin slightly hindered the transport of creatinine although compounds
did not able to pass through citric acid crosslinked chitosan/poly(vinyl
alcohol) blend membrane, as compounds no found in the acceptor phase.
