The study focused on the impact of using different types of glycerophosphate salts on the gelation properties and phase transition conditions of thermosensitive chitosan systems, highlighting the significant differences in viscoelastic properties observed. The findings indicated that the type of glycerophosphate salt used played a crucial role in the gelation process, with calcium glycerophosphate leading to the fastest gelation and magnesium glycerophosphate delaying gelation due to heat-induced dissolution.
Recently, thermosensitive chitosan systems have attracted the interest of many researchers due to their growing application potential. Nevertheless, the mechanism of the sol-gel phase transition is still being discussed, and the glycerophosphate salt role is ambiguous. The aim of the work is to analyze the possibility of the exclusive use of a non-sodium glycerophosphate salt and to determine its impact on the gelation conditions determined by rheological and turbidimetric measurements as well as the stability of the systems by measuring changes in the Zeta potential value. It was found that ensuring the same proportions of glycerophosphate ions differing in cation to amino groups present in chitosan chains, leads to obtaining systems significantly different in viscoelastic properties and phase transition conditions. It was clearly shown that the systems with the calcium glycerophosphate, the insoluble form of which may constitute additional aggregation nuclei, undergo the gelation the fastest. The use of magnesium glycerophosphate salt delays the gelation due to the heat-induced dissolution of the salt. Thus, it was unequivocally demonstrated that the formulation of the gelation mechanism of thermosensitive chitosan systems based solely on the concentration of glycerophosphate without discussing its type is incorrect.
