Heparin, an active sulfate group material, grafted onto blend membrane citric acid cross-linked chitosan/poly (vinyl alcohol)-poly(ethylene glycol) (PVA-PEG) to improve the membrane properties. The physical tests shown that grafting reaction of citric acid crosslinked chitosan increased the mechanical strength and membrane swelling. The permeability test results, it was found that the grafted chitosan membrane was improved permeability of both urea and creatinine as compared to chitosan pure and chitosan crosslinked membrane. The negative charge of the sulphonate group of heparin increased the number of the active side of the carrier in the membrane, which then correlated to the membrane’s permeability process.

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.

The main objective of this study was to enhance the rate of UV and biodegradation of polyethylene by incorporating biodegradable materials and prooxidants. Prooxidants such as transition metal complexes are capable of initiating photooxidation and polymer chain cleavage, rendering the product more susceptible to biodegradation. In this work, the effect of (1) a metallic photoinitiator, cobalt stearate, and (2) different combinations of cobalt stearate and vegetable oil on the photooxidative degradation of linear low-density poly(ethylene)-poly(vinyl alcohol) (LLDPE/PVA) blend films has been investigated. For this, film-grade LLDPE was blended with different proportions of PVA. PVA is widely used in the industrial field, and recently it has attracted increasing attention as a water-soluble biodegradable polymer. Cobalt stearate and vegetable oil were added to the blends as prooxidants. The blends were prepared by melt mixing in a Thermo HAAKE Polylab system. Thin films containing these additives were prepared by a subsequent compression moulding process. The effect of UV exposure on LLDPE/PVA films in the presence as well as absence of these additives was investigated. Tensile properties, FTIR spectra, and scanning electron microscopy (SEM) were employed to investigate the degradation behaviour. It was found
