Abstract
Miscibility studies of chitosan (CHI)/poly(vinyl alcohol) (PVA) blend in buffer solution were carried out in several blend compositions (10/90, 20/80, … , 90/10). Viscosity, ultrasonic velocity, density and refractive were measured at 30, 40 and 50°C, respectively. Using viscosity data, the interaction parameters μ and thermodynamic parameter α were computed to determine the miscibility of the blend in solution. These values revealed that the blend is miscible when the chitosan content is more than 60% in the blend. The obtained results were further confirmed by the ultrasonic velocity, density and refractive index study.
