A Facile Synthesis of Chitosan/MWCNT Nanocomposite
نویسندگان
چکیده
Chitosan/multiwalled carbon nanotube nanocomposite has been successfully synthesized by the chemical method. The prepared nanocomposite was characterized using XRD, FTIR and HRTEM. The XRD pattern of the nanocomposite shows the presence of planes corresponding to both chitosan and MWCNT and the absence of impurity phases. The semi-crystalline nature of chitosan is also evident from the obtained pattern. Shift in the vibration and a change in the intensity of NH2 and NH3 + modes shows the formation of the nanocomposite by the binding of MWCNT to the NH2 group of Chitosan. HRTEM images show the even distribution of MWCNT in a matrix of chitosan. Further work would be to study the use of the nanocomposite as a drug delivery vehicle.
