  Abstract

Chitosan (CS) nanoparticles with antibacterial properties have been synthesized by the ionic gelation method using tripolyphosphate (TPP) as a crosslinking agent. Physicochemical properties of the resulting CS-TPP nanoparticles were examined by FTIR spectroscopy, X-ray diffraction, scanning electron microscopy, energy dispersive X-ray, transmission electron microscopy, and UV-Vis spectroscopy. The antibacterial efficacy of the nanoparticles against S. aureus and E. coli was evaluated by the disc diffusion (DD) method. It was found that the optimum conditions for fabricating the CS-TPP nanoparticles were: pH of 2.85, CS concentration of 1.5 mg/ml, TPP concentration of 0.5 mg/ml, CS:TPP feed ratio of 1:1, mixing speed of 300 rpm, and reaction temperature of 30
