Rheological behavior of collagen/chitosan blended solutions

Understanding the rheological behavior of collagen/chitosan blends is fundamental to design the optimized collagen/chitosan composite materials. Steady shear, dynamic frequency sweep, thixotropy and creep‐recovery tests were investigated to characterize the rheological behavior of collagen/chitosan blends as a function of chitosan content (0%–90% [wt/wt]). All the samples showed pseudoplasticity with shear‐thinning behavior. With the increase of...
