Manufacture of chitosan microbeads using centrifugally driven flow of gel-forming solutions through a polymeric micronozzle

A centrifugally driven pulse-free flow has been used for generation of tripolyphosphate (TPP)-gelated chitosan beads with tunable diameters ranging from 148 to 257 lm. The production process requires a single motor as the sole actively actuated component. The 2% (w/w) chitosan solution was extruded...
