摘要
Sorption isotherms of biodegradable polymers such as chitosan with different degrees of deacetylation, starch, hydroxypropylcellulose, and polyvinyl alcohol were determined experimentally. Tests were performed at constant temperature in static conditions with the application of inorganic saturated salts solutions providing water activities aw from 0.115 to 0.94. Sorption isotherms were described using Brunauer-Emmet-Teller (BET) and Dubinin-Astakhov (DA) equations. Although BET and DA models are commonly used for description of surface adsorption, these two equations were used in this study to describe bulk adsorption. It was shown that the BET model is suitable in the range of water activity when aw0.55, and the DA model is more suitable for aw0.55.
