In this study, chitosan nanoparticle (CNP) was produced via ionic gelation process with varying initial concentration of chitosan (0.3, 0.6, 0.9, 1.2, 1.5, 1.8, and 2.1% w/v). The particle size of CNP was measured using dynamic light scattering (DLS) and transmission electron microscope (TEM). It wa...
