Abstract: | The gelating and swelling mechanisms of the hydrogel formed from oxidized konjac glucomannan (OKGM) and chitosan (CS) were
studied by Fourier transform infrared (FT-IR) spectrometry. FT-IR spectra illustrate that the interaction of polysaccharides
forms the hydrogen bonds and interchain salt bonds and the dissocation of which dominates the swelling behavior in buffer
solutions of different pH. The concentration of salt ion has effect on swelling behavior through the difference of salt ion
concentration between in solution and in network of hydrogel, which causes penetrating pressure. Moreover, the Swelling degree
and hydrogel strength could be modulated by varying conditions. It is indicated that the hydrogel has pH-sensitive and salt
ion sensitive properties. The prepared optimum condition selected by varying conditions is thatr=0.2;t=30 min;T
p=343 K andI=1.6.
