Moisture Absorption Properties and Kinetic Analysis of Three Different Kinds of Gauze

Abstract:

In this paper, the hygroscopic properties of three different gauze, that is common medical gauze, absorbable carboxymethyl gauze and absorbable oxidized gauze, were compared, and the kinetic analysis were studied. The results showed that, at 298K and RH80%, the moisture absorption rate of the three kinds of gauze follows the order of absorbable carboxymethyl gauze > absorbable oxidized gauze > common medical gauze. The moisture absorption kinetic analysis of the three kinds of gauze indicated that the second-order model proposed fits experimental data well with the correlation coefficient greater than 0.999.
