Physico-chemical characterization of cross linked chitosan-polyacrylonitrile polymer blends
Chitin a natural polymer extracted commercially from the shells of crustaceans such as prawns, crabs, krill, insects and shrimps. Chitosan is prepared from chitin by partially deacylating its acetamido groups with a strong alkaline solution. Chitin and chitosan have a wide variety of applications such as wastewater treatment which decreases the Chemical Oxygen Demand [COD] and used in preventin...
متن کاملEvaluation of physiochemical properties of curcumin-loaded Chitosan Tripolyphosphate Nanoparticles
Introduction: Curcumin is a water-insoluble agent with some anticancer and antimicrobial effects; while, solubility is essential for a medicine to reach target cells. This study set out to use chitosan tripolyphosphate nanoparticles (CTN) for making curcumin water-soluble, and delivering the required dosage of it to target cells. ...
متن کاملPhysical-chemical properties of cross-linked chitosan electrospun fiber mats
Chitosan fiber mats were successfully processed by electrospinning. The as-spun fiber mats were neutralized with ethanol and cross-linked with glutaraldehyde. A decrease of the fiber average diameter from 243 ± 43 nm down to 215.53 nm was observed for the neutralized and cross-linking chitosan membrane. It was found that the processing conditions do not alter the initial deacetylation degree of...
متن کاملPreparation and properties of ionically cross-linked chitosan nanoparticles
Polym. Adv od of tripolyphosphate (TPP) cross-linking. The influence of fabrication conditions on the physical properties and drug loading and release properties was investigated by transmission electron microscopy (TEM), dynamic light scattering (DLS), and UV–vis spectroscopy. The nanoparticles could be prepared only within a zone of appropriate chitosan and TPP concentrations. The particle si...
متن کاملCross-linked polyethylenimine–tripolyphosphate nanoparticles for gene delivery
The high transfection efficiency of polyethylenimine (PEI) makes it an attractive potential nonviral genetic vector for gene delivery and therapy. However, the highly positive charge of PEI leads to cytotoxicity and limits its application. To reduce the cytotoxicity of PEI, we prepared anion-enriched nanoparticles that combined PEI with tripolyphosphate (TPP). We then characterized the PEI-TPP ...
