摘要
En 中文
Polyelectrolyte complexes (PECs) of alginate and chitosan were formed by addition of 0.1% alginate solution (pH similar to 6.5) to 0.1% chitosan solution (pH similar to 4.0), and by adding the chitosan solution to the alginate solution under high shearing conditions. Variations in the properties of the polymers and the preparation procedure were studied, and the resultant PEC size, zeta potential (Zp), and pH were determined using dynamic light scattering (DLS), electrophoresis and by measuring turbidity and pH. Tapping mode atomic force microscopy (AFM) was used to examine some of the complexes. The particle size was decreased as the speed and diameter of the dispersing element of the homogenizer was increased. The net charge ratio between chitosan and alginate, and the molecular weights (M-W) of both the alginate and chitosan samples were the most significant parameters that influenced the particle size, Zp, and pH. The mixing order also influenced the size of the PECs, however, the Zp and pH were not affected by the mixing order. The stability of the complexes was investigated by incubation at an elevated temperature (37 degrees C), storage for one month at 4 degrees C, alteration of the pH of the PEC mixture, and addition of salt to physiological ionic strength (0.15 M NaCl). The properties of the PEC could be affected according to the molecular properties of the polyelectrolytes selected and the preparation procedures used. The resultant PEC sizes and properties of the complex were rationalised using a core-shell model for the structure of the complexes. (C) 2008 Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved.
