Contact angle of chitosan surfaces. Water contact angles of the various surfaces prepared were measured. (a) surfaces that were neutralized with varying concentrations of NaOH for either 10 (ā—Š) or 30 (ā– ) minutes and rinsed with sterile PBS, (b) contact angle of chitosan films neutralized and exposed to RPMI medium supplemented with 10% FBS for 16 hours.
