Electrophoretic deposition of chitosan–albumin and Alginate–albumin films

Electrophoretic deposition methods have been developed for the fabrication of composite films containing biopolymers and bovine serum albumin (BSA). The mechanism of the deposition of chitosan–BSA films was based on electrophoresis of chitosan and BSA in acidic solutions, and co‐precipitation of insoluble chitosan and BSA in the high pH region at the cathode surface. The mechanism of the anodic deposition of alginic acid–BSA films was based on …
