Abstract: | The process of diffusion of sodium hyaluronate and its hydrophobically modified alkyl derivatives in water was studied by measuring the kinetics of solid polymer film swelling. The following fundamental thermodynamic parameters of the swelling process were calculated: the apparent diffusion coefficient of swelling by water Ds determined at three temperatures (25, 37 and 45°C), the activation enthalpy of diffusion connected with the swelling HD,s and the activation enthalpy of the swelling process Hs. The thermodynamic activity of the solvent for the given sodium hyaluronate and its four alkyl derivatives has been expressed through the internal quantity RA,s, i.e. expansion work of polymer coil accomplished by the action of the internal pressure. | ||||||||||
