Abstract
In this investigation, blends of poly(vinyl alcohol) and chitosan cross-linked with bis phenol-F-diglycidyl ether were prepared by solution casting method. Epoxy acted as a cross-linker and content was varied from 3.80 × 10−3 to 3.80 × 10−2 mol. Morphology of the blend was examined using scanning electron microscopy which showed homogenous morphology suggesting good miscibility between blend components. FTIR showed significant shifting of peak...
