The rheological properties of chitosan and microcrystalline cellulose (MCC) composite gels, as well as the mechanical properties, water vapour sorption and swelling of films prepared from them were investigated. It has been shown that, on addition of liquid crystalline 9% MCC gels to non-liquid crystalline 2% chitosan gels, composite gels at sufficiently great MCC contents acquire liquid crystalline rheological properties. The dependence of the viscosity of composite gels on the MCC content has an extreme character with a minimum. When the MCC content reaches the value at which a liquid crystalline structure is formed in the composite gel, viscosity decreases somewhat. A study of the properties of the films has shown that, with increasing MCC content up to 65%, the tensile stress and modulus of elasticity of the film samples increase, while elongation at break, water vapour sorption and swelling decrease. This can be explained mainly by the formation of bonds between the MCC carbonyl and carboxyl groups and chitosan amino groups.
