Abstract
ABSTRACT Biopolymers are common ingredients in medical, technological, and industrial products. This paper presents the experimental analysis of conductometric properties of polysaccharides of chitosan (CH) in solutions in water W. The electrical conductivity was measured under the influence of increasing concentration of (0.5 to 10) g/l and increasing temperature of (288.15 to 318.15) K. The reduced electrical conductivity and the activation energy of reduced electrical conductivity Eσ are calculated. Biopolymer solutions exhibit a critical recovery of intrinsic electrical conductivity and a critical concentration c*, separating solutions into dilute solutions and semi-dilute solutions. The dependencies of the activation energy with solution concentration and intrinsic electrical conductivity are discussed. The polysaccharide CH behaviour can be extrapolated from the Flory-Huggins theory by decomposing such as . Where the is the entropy-originated term that reflects the tendency of molecules to adopt as many configurations as possible on the network and the is associated with the energy variation that occurs when two molecules of different species are brought into contact. This enthalpy contribution represents well the non-Arrhenius behaviour. Principles that aid one to understand and interpret such results are discussed.
期刊介绍:
Physics and Chemistry of Liquids publishes experimental and theoretical papers, letters and reviews aimed at furthering the understanding of the liquid state. The coverage embraces the whole spectrum of liquids, from simple monatomic liquids and their mixtures, through charged liquids (e.g. ionic melts, liquid metals and their alloys, ions in aqueous solution, and metal-electrolyte systems) to molecular liquids of all kinds. It also covers quantum fluids and superfluids, such as Fermi and non-Fermi liquids, superconductors, Bose-Einstein condensates, correlated electron or spin assemblies.
By publishing papers on physical aspects of the liquid state as well as those with a mainly chemical focus, Physics and Chemistry of Liquids provides a medium for the publication of interdisciplinary papers on liquids serving its broad international readership of physicists and chemists.
