What is Hydrophilic Plasticizers in Chitosan Films about?

This study investigates the effects of four hydrophilic plasticizers (glycerol, ethylene glycol, poly(ethylene glycol), and propylene glycol) on the mechanical and surface properties of chitosan films. Results indicate that glycerol and poly(ethylene glycol) are more effective plasticizers, enhancing ductility and stability over time, while propylene glycol leads to brittleness. Overall, a 20% concentration of glycerol or poly(ethylene glycol) is recommended for producing flexible and stable chitosan films
