Chitosan Microgels and Nanoparticles via Electrofluidodynamic Techniques for Biomedical Applications
Abstract
:1. Introduction
- (a)
- EDS involves the deposition of charged droplets on a grounded plate, by the breaking of polymer jet into nano-droplets under the solution overcharging conditions to form individual nanoparticles or agglomerates as a function of the local surface charge.
- (b)
- EHDA is based on the deposition of charged droplets in a crosslinking agent solution—i.e., calcium chloride (CaCl2) for alginate particles—prior to the solution overcharging, by the perturbation and cutting of polymer jet until the formation of microsized particles.
