Abstract

The results of a study of gelation peculiarities in chitosan solutions in the presence of a cross-linking agent of natural origin and biocompatible properties of films obtained on the basis of the chitosan-solution–genipin gelling system are presented. The possibility of controlling the swelling degree of the films from 300 to 1800% are shown.
