Nanostructured chitosan-palygorskite hybrid microspheres for controlled delivery of thymol

Hybrid microspheres from palygorskite (PAL) nanoclay and crosslinked chitosan (QS) were prepared with the emulsion method to trap and control the release of thymol (TIM). The morphology of the microspheres was characterized by scanning electron microscopy and x-ray diffraction. The size of the micro...
