Abstract

In this paper, we report our investigation on the monolayer characteristics of a nontoxic, biocompatible, and biodegradable polymer chitosan (CHS) using Langmuir–Blodgett technique. It has been observed that pure CHS do not form stable monolayer. However, when CHS is mixed with arachidic acid (AA), stable self supporting monolayer is formed at air–water interface. This also can be transferred onto solid substrate. CHS–AA mixed monolayer is extremely stable with variation of pH. Atomic force microscopy study confirms the formation of stable uniform CHS–AA films onto solid support.
