Preparation of Chitosan Microcapsules by Using Microreactor

摘要

Chitosan microcapsules with particle sizes of about 2.9 μm were prepared by using microreactors equipped with a Y-connector or a micromixer. The mean size of microcapsules prepared by batch method was 3.9 μm. Microcapsules prepared by micromixer method showed narrow particle size distribution. Microcapsules contained core materials of 19 - 36 wt% as revealed by TG analyses.
