Composites based on chitosan- and gold-modified carbon fibers

Inorganic Materials Aims and scope

Abstract

We report the fabrication of composite materials containing gold particles deposited on the surface of carbon fibers, in particular, immobilized in films of chitosan, a natural biopolymer. The fabrication process involves gold-chitosan electrocodeposition on unmodified fibers or gold deposition on chitosan-carbon materials used as electrodes. Scanning electron microscopy, energy dispersive X-ray analysis, and X-ray diffraction results are used to gain insight into the role of ion exchange, complexation, and electrochemical factors in the formation of the composites.
