Abstract
The influence of UV radiation, used as a sterilizing agent, on chitosan/poly(ethylene oxide) (PEO) blends has been studied with ATR‐FTIR spectroscopy, contact angle measurements, atomic force microscopy (AFM), polarized microscopy, and differential scanning calorimetry (DSC). The results showed that photooxidation process took place on the sample surfaces. The efficiency of this process increased with rising chitosan content in the blends and...
