Specific effects of calcium acetate on the self-assembly of chitosan molecules on mica surface observed with atomic force microscopy

The well-organized chitosan film on mica surface has drawn wide attention for its potential applications and studies on the process of self-assembly. In this article, atomic force microscopy was used to investigate the ultrastructure of the self-assembly of chitosan molecules with calcium ions in di...
