Gelation process of carboxymethyl chitosan-zinc supramolecular hydrogel studied with fluorescence imaging and mathematical modelling
Abstract
Herein we report on a detailed study about the gelation kinetics of carboxymethyl chitosan-zinc (CMCh-Zn) supramolecular hydrogel by taking advantage of its intrinsic fluorescence property. A specific gelation device is designed and the gel front can be directly visualized under 365 nm UV light. The results show that when increasing Zn2+ concentration from 0.1 M to 1.0 M, the apparent diffusion coefficient increases gradually from 2.72 × 10−6...
