Abstract

The effect of different volumes of tripolyphosphate (TPP) on the synthesis of chitosan nanoparticles (NPs) was evaluated. The synthesis was performed using the ionic gelation method with a 0.5% chitosan solution and 1% TPP. A particle size analyser (PSA) was used to obtain the size of the chitosan NPs while a Fourier Transform Infrared (FTIR) spectrophotometer was utilized to explore the functional groups of the NPs. The results showed that the average size of chitosan NPs were 648.2 nm (20:4), 515.7 nm, 648.2 nm, 515.7 nm, and 340.3 nm for different volume ratios of 20:4, 20:3, and 20:2, respectively. Less TPP volume was added, the smaller the particle size will be produced. The chitosan NPs have several functional groups including –OH, amines, -CH alkanes, -C=O groups, amides, P-O groups, and P=O groups, indicating that the synthesis product corresponded to the chitosan-TPP compound.
