Rheological Study of Genipin Cross-Linked Chitosan Hydrogels

This paper reports the rheological behavior of chitosan solutions that have been cross-linked with different amounts of genipin, at body temperature and physiological pH. The effect of the cross-linker loading on the rheological properties of hydrogels has been evaluated. The oscillatory time sweep...
