Abstract
In accordance with the purpose(s) of the present disclosure, as embodied and broadly described herein, embodiments of the present disclosure, in one aspect, relate to methods of making nanostructures (e.g., nanoparticles, nanofibers), systems for making nanostructures, and the like.
Claims14
A method of making chitosan nanostructures, comprising:
- providing a structure having a first compartment for a feed solution and a second compartment for a receiver solution, wherein the feed solution comprises chitosan, and wherein a polycarbonate or an alumina nanoporous membrane structure having nanochannels is positioned between an end of the first compartment and an end of the second compartment;
- causing the feed solution to flow through the nanoporous membrane structure from the end of the first compartment to the end of the second compartment;
- forming nanostructures comprising the chitosan at the opening of the nanochannels;
- and
- collecting the chitosan nanostructures from the receiver solution.
