Abstract
The dynamics of dialysis-induced chitosan gel formation has been analyzed by a theory with “moving boundary picture” for the case where the gelation occurs by neutralization. Three datasets for the dependence of concentrations of NaOH in the immersing solution, acetic acid in the solvent and chitosan for the whole range of time fit well to the theoretical equations, by which the validity of the theory was confirmed.
