Exploring the effect of formulation parameters on the particle size of carboxymethyl chitosan nanoparticles prepared via reverse micellar crosslinking

Abstract: Carboxymethyl chitosan (CMCh), as a non-toxic, biocompatible and biodegradable semi-synthetic biopolymer with mucoadhesive properties, is widely investigated for targeting drug or gene delivery applications. Here, fabrication of CMCh nanoparticles will be reported using a reverse (w/o) micellar system to provide particles with tuneable mean sizes. Reverse microemulsions were prepared by dispersing aqueous solution of CMCh in n-hexane using sodium-bis(ethylhexyl)-sulfosuccinate (AOT) and glutaraldehyde (GA) as … Show more

“…The organic solvent is evaporated results in formation of transparent dry mass, then the latter is dispersed in water and then a suitable salt is added for precipitating the surfactant [115,116]. A very narrow size range nanoparticle is seen and organic solvents are used [117].…”

“…Over the last few years, many attempts have been made to develop synthetic methods for CS-based particles, such as ionic gelation [ 44 , 45 , 46 ], polyelectrolyte complexation [ 47 , 48 , 49 ], emulsion solvent diffusion [ 50 , 51 ], emulsion crosslinking [ 52 , 53 ], spray drying [ 54 , 55 ], supercritical fluid drying [ 56 ], electrospraying [ 57 ], emulsion droplet coalescence [ 58 ], reverse micellar/emulsion methods [ 59 , 60 ] and sieving methods [ 61 ].…”

“…The natural dissolvable is removed to leave a pure dry mass. Next, the final choice is dispersed in water, and then a reasonable amount of salt is added to help the surfactant (6,7). We see a very small nanoparticle and use natural solvents to dissolve it (8).…”
