| Abstract | ||||
| Chitosan-zinc complexes with different zinc content were prepared electrochemically, monitored by atomic mass spectrophotometer and characterized by FT-IR, XRD, UV and TEM. It was found that the complexes with different zinc content showed different molecular structures. Molar ratios of chitosan zinc complexes were formed depending on the duration time of electroxidation process. Complexes have been partial random crystalline, while maximum concentrated complexes exhibited complete ordered amorphous. UV radiation reduction has been used to produce chitosan zinc nanocomposite. Zinc and zinc oxide nanoparticles have been detected. The colloidal solution has been found extremely stable for more than six months at ambient atmosphere. | ||||
