Abstract

The method of quartz-crystal microbalance was used to study the process of adsorption of water vapors in chitosan films formed on a solid support with a film thickness of 5 nm to 4 μm. It is found that the adsorption capacity of thin chitosan films with a thickness that is commensurable to the roughness of the support increases at a decrease in the thickness. The kinetics of desorption in chitosan films is also determined by the ratio of film thickness and support roughness: the desorption rate constant grows when the film thickness approaches the roughness of the support (nanosize range).
