Estudo sobre a formação de filmes automontados de quitosana com complexos de ferro e rutênio nitrosil

Abstract

Chitosan (Qt) has great technological application due to present atoxic features, biodegradable and renewable. The fact that a cationic polymer makes it capable of forming films by selfassembly technique, allowing its interaction with various compounds. In this context, this study aimed to evaluate the influence of purification of Qt in the neutral, acetate and hydrochloride forms in building self-assembled films by their interaction with nitrosyl complex (SNP and RubpyNO). Analysis of the degree of deacetylation, viscometry, infrared and thermal analysis showed that the purified Qt have different characteristics. The formation of the films was monitored by spectroscopy in the Uv-Vis region and characterized through spectroscopic techniques infrared (FTIR), thermal analysis (TG/DTG), cyclic voltammetry (CV), scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and energy dispersive X-ray (EDS). The results showed that Qt neutral and acetate forming films linear and homogeneous growth, with the interaction of both materials confirmed by FTIR technique. The results show that cyclic voltammetry of the neutral and acetate Qt films and the complex behave as semi-reversible processes, except the film QtAcetato/RubpyNO, which presents itself as an irreversible process. It was observed that chitosan affects the purification method presented in the redox process for the films due to the shape of weaker or stronger interaction of the particles according to the load presented by polycations and polyanions in solution during the formation of automounted film. The images obtained by SEM and EDS confirmed the presence of layers arranged with uniform coverage and homogeneous distribution of the elements in the film surface. The TG/DTG analysis confirmed thermal stability of the films before and after being subjected to VC. Reaction rolls of film with ascorbic acid (AA) and cysteine showed that the film QtNeutra/RubpyNO showed the best response to both substances. A straight line equation has been suggested for the determination of AA by QtNeutra/RubpyNO film and for the determination of cysteine, additional studies are required.
