Ionotropic gelation between chitosan, as the polycation of acidic pH, and TPP (penta sodium triphosphate aka tripolyphosphate) as the anionic oligomeric partner leads to the formation of colloidal systems which can range from approximately 100nm to 2000nm. Depending on the conditions, particles with different properties can be obtained including differences in size, zeta potential, stability at...

Background: Neurodegenerative disorders such as Alzheimer’s disease, Parkinson’s Multiple Sclerosis, Dementia, and others are becoming more common globally due to people’s changing lifestyles. Furthermore, the presence of Blood-Brain barrier other limitations oral routes administration makes drug delivery brain somewhat tricky. As a result, numerous novel systems being developed for brain. Howe...

In recent years, utilization of chitosan /tripolyphosphate nanoparticles has been considered greatly as protein delivery vehicles. Effects of a variety of factors on final characteristics of nanoparticles have been studied by many investigators. Although, the objective of this study was to achieve smaller chitosan nano carriers via changing fabrication parameters such as pH and temperature and ...

The aim of this paper was to synthesize and characterize microbial chitosan thin films for potential piezoelectric application. Microbial derived from the Aspergillus oryzae fungus via extraction deacetylation. Chitosan film characterized its surface morphology, chemical properties, tensile strength, topography. For application as a material, characteristics were presented in terms electromecha...

An eco-friendly and simple approach was carried out for the synthesis of silver-chitosan nanocomposites using Azadirachta indica fluconazole-mediated aqueous extract. This extract acted as a reducing agent well capping green silver nanoparticles. Chitosan nanoparticles on other hand were synthesized from deacetylation chitin matrix. To confirm nanoparticle synthesis, UV- A visible spectrophotom...

Magnetic iron oxide nanoparticles have gained a lot of attention in drug delivery systems because they can control a drug pathway to deliver it to the specific site under a magnetic field which is related to their magnetic core and surface coating. Chitosan-coated FeNPs, have prominent antimicrobial and biological properties that make chitosan a promising biopolymer for drug delivery applicatio...
