Synthesis and properties of chitosan–silica hybrid aerogels

Abstract: Chitosan, a polymer that is soluble in dilute aqueous acid, is derived from chitin, a natural polyglucosamide. Aquagels where the solid phase consists of both chitosan and silica can be easily prepared by using an acidic solution of chitosan to catalyze the hydrolysis and condensation of tetraethylorthosilicate. Gels with chitosan/TEOS mass ratios of 0.1-1.1 have been prepared by this method. Standard drying processes using CO 2give the corresponding aerogels. The amount of chitosan in the gel plays a role in … Show more

“…[8][9][10][11][12][13][14][15][16][17] Diferentes materiais naturais, sintéticos orgânicos, inorgânicos e híbridos com distintas características de tamanho, forma e densidade têm sido empregados para a imobilização de lipases. [14][15][16][17][18][19][20][21][22][23][24] Entre esses, matrizes híbridas de natureza orgânica e inorgânica têm apresentado particular interesse comercial nos últimos anos, devido às suas diferentes características e aplicações. [14][15][16][17] Diversos compostos orgânicos têm sido empregados na síntese destas matrizes, porém os biopolímeros se mostram promissores devido ao seu baixo custo, baixa toxicidade, biocompatibilidade e propriedades multifuncionais.…”

[14][15][16][17][18][19][20][21][22][23][24] Precursores silanos, tais como tetraetilortossilicato (TEOS) [14][15][16][17][18][19][20][21][22] e tetrametilortossilicato (TMOS), 23,24 têm sido amplamente empregados na síntese de matrizes híbridas e a biocompatibilidade destes precursores com diversos polímeros, tais como álcool polivinílico, [14][15][16][17] celulose, 18 carragenana 19 e quitosana, [20][21][22][23] é reportada na literatura. Quitosana, um biopolímero proveniente da desacetilação da quitina, é o segundo polímero mais abundante na natureza, depois da celulose.…”

“…Chitosan silica aerogels in transparent or translucent monolithic solid form have been synthesized by an initial sol-gel process, followed by extraction with supereritical CO 2 [1][2][3][4][5][6]. The chitosan silica aerogels have high porosity, up to 95%(v/v), and densities ranging from 0.2 to 0.3g/cm 3 .…”
