    In this paper, a novel composite hydrogel was prepared by the use of dialdehyde konjac glucomannan (DAK) as macromolecular cross-linking agent for chitosan (CS). This biocompatible material cross-links and gels in minutes. The structure and morphology were characterized by various analyses. The results indicate that the hydrogels formed through the Schiff-base reaction between the amino groups of CS chains and the aldehyde groups of DAK. The cross-link density (rho(x)) increases with the enhancement of DAK content in hydrogels, while equilibrium swelling ratio (SR) and the average molecular weight between cross-links (Mc) value decrease. Drug release was evaluated by varying the pH of the release medium, reversed dependence of release rate on the equilibrium SR of hydrogel indicated that drug release may be impeded by the association of drug with the polymer. Importantly, this process offers an entirely new window of materials preparation when compared with the traditional preparation of CS-based hydrogels with small molecules cross-linking agent.
