Abstract: Summary: Neutralization process effects on preparation and characterization of chitosan membranes were evaluated by differencial scanning calorimetry and scanning electron microscopy. Water solubility and humidity of chitosan membranes were also studied. Swelling behavior in different pH media was evaluated and mechanical properties such as tensile strength and elongation at break were measured. Neutralization process increased glass transition temperature of chitosan membranes and decreased their water solubility, humidity and water sorption. An improvement in mechanical properties of chitosan membranes was also observed after neutralization process.
