Abstract
In this study, we investigated the miscibility and degradability of biodegradable polymers. Polydioxanone (PDO) was blended with chitosan, and the resulting films were prepared via film casting. The blends were analyzed according to composition ratio and in vitro biodegradation. The intermolecular interaction in the blend was verified through spectroscopic analysis. The addition of chitosan was found to lead to a significant enhancement in the mechanical properties of the blend. Also, the chitosan embedded film showed different morphologies and thermal properties from the pure PDO film. The current study might show a possibility of employing PDO based biodegradable film for biomedical applications.
