PREPARATION OF MICRO AND NANOSTRUCTURES OF CHITOSAN BY ULTRASONIC COALESCENCE OF W/O EMULSIONS
Journal Title: Progress on Chemistry and Application of Chitin and its Derivatives - Year 2013, Vol 0, Issue
Abstract
In the paper, the preeliminary study of chitosan micro and nanospheres precipitation due to two reverse emulsions (W/O) coalescence is described. The composition conditions, which must be filled to obtain stable reverse emulsion is pointed out. Furthermore, the parameters of ultrasonic emulsification and coalescence technique are presented and finally, morphological study of obtained micro and nanospheres are discussed

STUDIES OF GENTAMYCIN ADSORPTION ON CHITOSAN
Chitosan as a dietary supplement has been used in the treatment of obesity due to its capability of binding bioactive compounds. A molecule of a cationic polymer, such as chitosan, may bind gentamycin. The aim of the stu...
PHOSPHATE REMOVAL FROM AQUEOUS SOLUTIONS BY CHITIN AND CHITOSAN IN FLAKES
The article presents the effectiveness of phosphate adsorption on the flakes of chitin and chitosan. Studies performed determined adsorption capacity of chitin and chitosan, best among the tested adsorption pH and the eq...
APPLICATIONS OF CHITOSAN–GRAPHENE OXIDE NANOCOMPOSITES IN MEDICAL SCIENCE: A REVIEW
Combinations of biopolymers with nanostructured carbon materials have been the subject of interest of many scientists in recent years. Particularly significant are nanocomposites made of chitosan, which is a linear amino...
SENSITIVITY TO CHITOSAN ASCORBATE MICROAEROPHILIC BACTERIA ISOLATED FROM INFECTIONS OF ORAL CAVITY
The aim of the date was to determine the sensitivity to chitosan ascorbate microaerophilic bacteria isolated from pathological pockets, root canals and apical abscesses. Chitosan was obtained from Antarctic krill. The ex...
A COMPARISON OF SORPTION EFFICIENCY OF BASIC VIOLET 10 ONTO CHITOSAN AND FLY ASHES AND SAWDUST IMMOBILIZED ONTO CHITOSAN
The course of adsorption curves and calculated values of adsorption capacity point to diversified efficiency of Basic Violet 10 removal depending on the type of sorbent. Data obtained indicate that immobilization of sawd...
