Synthesis and Characterization of Chitosan Nanoaggregates from Gladius of Uroteuthis duvauceli

We report the synthesis, characterization, and biological properties of chitosan nanoaggregates from gladius of squid, Uroteuthis duvauceli. β-Chitin extracted from gladius was deacetylated to chitosan and further reduced to nanosize using ionic gelation process. The morphology and occurrence of chi...
