In this study, the preparation of ionophore doped chitosan biopolymer solution using chitosan, glutaraldehyde and p-tert-butylcalix[4]arene-tetrakis(N,N-dimethylacetamide) in acetic acid under mild condition has been described. After the reaction, the ionophore doped chitosan biopolymer thin film wa...
