Tóm tắt

In this work, chitin flakes were deacetylated with 50% (w/v) sodium hydroxide under nitrogen atmosphere at 120 °C for 80 min to obtain chitosan. The chitosan produced was characterized for degree of deacetylation (DD) and molecular weight. Chitosan with the DD of 78–80% was reproducibly obtained. Molecular weight showed an inverse relationship with concentration of NaOH. Chitosan nanofibrous membrane was prepared via the electrospinning of chitosan/polyvinyl alcohol (CH/PVA) aqueous solutions with varying blend compositions. The characteristics of CH/PVA nanofibrous membranes were studied as a function of viscosity of solution and applied voltage. A uniform nanofibrous membrane of average fibre diameter of 80–300 nm was obtained with blend of 2% (w/v) chitosan solution in 1% (v/v) acetic acid and 5% (w/v) PVA in distilled water in the electric field of 20–25 kV with varying proportion of CH/PVA. With the CH/PVA mass ratios; 40/60 to 10/90, electrospinning of nanofibres could be done. The electrospun nanofibrous membrane was analyzed by scanning electron microscopy (SEM), X-ray diffraction (XRD), Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR) and Thermo gravimetric analysis (TGA). SEM images showed that the morphology and diameter of the nanofibres were mainly affected by the weight ratio of CH/PVA. XRD and FTIR confirmed the strong intermolecular hydrogen bonding between the molecules of Chitosan and PVA.
