In the present study, thin films based on the blends of chitosan (Ch) and hyaluronic acid (HA) with and without collagen (Coll) were characterised using tensile tests, attenuated total reflectance Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (ATR-FTIR) and thermogravimetric analysis (TGA). Ch/HA and Ch/HA/Coll polymer blends were prepared using the solvent evaporation technique. The interactions between polymer components in the binary and ternary blends were studied by FTIR analysis. Mechanical properties were studied and compared with those of simple polymer films. These results show that the addition of collagen into Ch/HA blends led to the increase of tensile strength and Young modulus. Moreover, it was found that the thermal stability of the Ch/HA binary blend significantly increased upon the addition of collagen.

In the present study, the results of viscosity measurements in dilute solutions of chitosan (Ch) with hyaluronic acid (HA) are presented. Chitosan is blended with hyaluronic acid in aqueous 0.1M CH3COOH/0.2M NaCl and 0.3M NaCl respectively, or with the addition of HEPES. Viscosity measurements of dilute polymer solution were carried out in an Ubbelohde capillary viscometer. The intrinsic viscosity, [], and the viscosity interaction parameters, bm, have been determined for the binary (solvent/polymer) and ternary (solvent/polymer A/polymer B) systems. The homogeneity and morphology of chitosan blends were ascertained from the tapping-mode atomic force microscopy. The surface roughness of chitosan, hyaluronic acid and Ch/HA blended films was altered by mixing. The obtained results suggested that there was existence of the strong interactions between chitosan and hyaluronic acid.

The influence of the type solvent on the structure of chitosan, hyaluronic acid and their blend films was investigated. Aqueous acetic acid, hydrochloric acid, sodium chloride and aqueous acetic acid/NaCl were used as solvents for chitosan, hyaluronic acid and Ch/HA solution blends. Ch, HA and their blend films were prepared by casting technique. The homogeneity and morphology of chitosan blends were ascertained from the tapping-mode atomic force microscopy (AFM) and scanning electron microscopy (SEM). The changes of topography images are considered by determining the root mean square (RMS, Rq) deviation in the image data. The surface roughness of chitosan, hyaluronic acid and Ch/HA blended films was altered by mixing. The structure of chitosan blends with hyaluronic acid depends on the blend composition and on the solvent used for preparing the blend.
