Synthesis and characterization of nano chitosan obtained using different seafood waste

摘要

? 2022 Elsevier B.V.This research work deals with the synthesis and characterization of nano chitosan from the seafood wastes such as Crab (Brachyura), Lobster (Thenus orintalis), Snail (Gastropoda) and Squid (Decapodiformes). Prepared nano chitosan based on the sea species waste is characterized for the material composition, morphology and particle size determination using FTIR, AFM and XRD. Characterization results have very good synchronization with the other chitosans prepared for the proposed application. Biocompatibility of the prepared nano chitosan makes it more useful for the applications such as tissue engineering.
