Microparticles based on carboxymethyl starch/chitosan polyelectrolyte complex as vehicles for drug delivery systems

Microparticles with oval-shape morphology and rough and porous surfaces were prepared by polyelectrolyte complexation of carboxymethyl starch (CMS) and chitosan (Cs). CMS with DS of 0.5, the polyanionic moiety, was synthesized from rice starch with low content of amylose (6%). A preliminary investig...
