Silicon Nanowire Surface Preparation Using Chitosan

Abstract:

Chitosan (CS) is an interesting polysaccharide biopolymer that widely used in the fields of agriculture, horticulture, industry, biomedicine and chemical sensor due to its numerous advantage like non-toxic nature, excellent film forming ability, good mechanical strength, high permeability and cost effectiveness. The chitosan solution (0.05 %) was prepared by dissolving 0.05g chitosan (Sigma corp) in 10 ml of acetic acid (2mol/L). after the is the preparation of preparation of chitosan: A very small amount of chitosan were taken and dissolved in distilled water. The solution was then ultrasonicated for 90 minutes to obtain a homogenized solution. The spectra shows featureless absorption in the 400-800 nm and a sharp absorption peak at 250 nm regions which are similar to the spectra of chitosan in the previous research. The UV-vis spectra of chitosan in at different concentration. The spectra show featureless absorption in the 400-800 nm. A sharp absorption peak at approximately 300 nm. The observed absorption peak in chitosan solution depends on the solution concentration. When the chitosan concentration was less, the peak was not that clearly seen compared to the concentration of 0.05.
