Isolation of Chitosan-Melanin Complex from Black Soldier Fly Adults and Obtaining Nanofibrous Materials Based on It
摘要
Abstract
The article presents the results of studying the viscosity of chitosan-melanin complex solutions from the insect Hermetia illucens and the process of gelation in these solutions in the presence of crosslinking reagents. Chemically cross-linked nanofibers were obtained from solutions of the chitosan-melanin complex in dilute solutions of acetic acid by the method of spinneretless electrospinning. The presence of 14% melanin made it possible to reduce the concentration of acetic acid in the spinning composition.
