Transport properties of hyaluronan-based hydrogel systems

This bachelor thesis deals with the study of trasport properties of hydrogels, that were prepared by interaction of hyaluronan with karbethopendecinium bromide (Septonex), as a surfactant. Nile red is a fluorescent probe to determine the ability of the system to absorb or to release the substance. All the hydrogels were prepared by the „wet“ way, where the solutions of hyaluronan and surfactant were prepared first. Nile red was prepared in the solution of tenzide, which after the mixing with hyaluronan produced colorful gels. By the spectrophotometric measurement, the absorbance of supernatants were observed. The absorbance was measured in original but also in changed supernatatns after 24, 72 and 168 hours
