Abstract

Alginic acid from seaweed and chitosan derived from shrimp and crab shells are well known as abundant biopolymers of marine origin. Alginic acid as a polyanion and chitosan as a polycation produce a polyelectrolyte complex (PIC) by ionic crosslinking. So far, PIC has been prepared by alternate lamination or casting methods. In this study, a novel continuous preparation method of PIC was demonstrated with an extruder and a hot press. It was confirmed that homogeneous PIC sheets were prepared conveniently. Moreover, by adding various plasticizers it was shown that mechanical properties of PIC were controllable in a range of hard and soft materials.
