Abstract
The possibility of fabricating composite chitosan—cellulose films from mixed solutions of polysaccharides in MMO was demonstrated. Unoriented films of inhomogeneous phase composition exhibit elevated swelling in aqueous media (500-600%) and could be of great interest as separating membranes or film dressings.
