Effects of metal ions on the self-assembly of chitosan molecules investigated with atomic force microscopy

The effect of different metal ions including K+, Na+, Mg2+, and Ca2+ at different concentrations on the self-assembly of chitosan molecules deposited on the new cleaved mica sheet was investigated using atomic force microscopy imaging techniques and other affiliated offline analysis methods. Chitosa...
