Facile Preparation of Water-Soluble and Cytocompatible Small-Sized Chitosan-Polydopamine Nanoparticles

In this paper, a kind of novel water-soluble chitosan-polydopamine (CHT-PDA) nanoparticles with a hydrody- namic diameter (Dh) around 10 nm were reported by the combination of self-polymerization of PDA and electro- static complexation between PDA and CHT in water/DMSO (W/D) mixture at the molar fra...

Summary:In this paper, a kind of novel water-soluble chitosan-polydopamine (CHT-PDA) nanoparticles with a hydrody- namic diameter (Dh) around 10 nm were reported by the combination of self-polymerization of PDA and electro- static complexation between PDA and CHT in water/DMSO (W/D) mixture at the molar fraction of DMSO (XDMSO =0.37). The preparation method was efficient with a yield of 98% around. The as-prepared water-soluble CHT-PDA nanoparticles exhibited effective UV-screen ability, enhanced visible-light transmittance and good cyto- compatibility via MTT assay, which might be used in transparent formulation for UV protection usage, especially in biological field including sun care application.
