BINARY CHITOSAN/QUATERNIZED CHITOSAN VIA ELECTROSPINNING. MORPHOLOGY AND ANTIMICROBIAL ACTIVITY
Source abstract
Abstract
The paper reports about binary chitosan/quaternized chitosan nanofibers obtained by direct electrospinning of their solution, without using co-spinning polymers. Both quaternary salts, N,N,N-trimethyl chitosan chloride and N-(2-hydroxyl) propyl-3-trimethyl ammonium chitosan chloride, were used in the electrospinning process and provided nanofibers with a mean diameter lower than 100 nm. A morphological evaluation of the nanofibers prepared with quaternized chitosan and chitosan of different molecular weights indicated that chitosan of lower molecular weight yielded fibers of higher diameter, due to the necessity to increase the concentration of the electrospinning solution in order to reach chain entanglement. Polarized light microscopy suggested that the fibers were semicrystalline in nature, in line with the ability of the macromolecular chains to align in an electrical field. Furthermore, the investigation of the antimicrobial and antifungal activities against relevant gram-positive and gram-negative bacteria, as well as yeast strains, revealed the strong effects of the nanofibers, improved by the presence of quaternary chitosan and the lower diameter of the fibers.
