In this work, polyethylene oxide (PEO) was used as a compatibilizer to improve compatibility of chitosan (CS) and alginate (AG) in CS/AG composites loading lovastatine (LS). The CS/AG/PEO/LS composites were prepared by solution method with the ratio of AG/CS and LS content fixed at 4/1 and 10 wt.% (in comparison with the total weight of CS and AG), respectively. The PEO content was changed 3, 5 and 10 wt.% as compared with AG+CS+LS weight. | Effect of polyethylene oxide on properties of chitosan/alginate/lovastatine composites
