Embodiment 1

[0029] What this embodiment provides is a kind of in-situ introduction of graphene into the membrane wall of chitosan microcapsules, thus forming spherical graphene / chitosan composite microcapsules, with a size of 300-1000 μm and a particle size distribution Coefficient ≤ 6%.

[0030] Graphene is introduced into the membrane wall of the microcapsule, and the graphene effectively enhances the mechanical properties of the membrane wall of the composite microcapsule, and can regulate the release rate of the composite microcapsule to the loaded drug.

Embodiment 2

[0032] The preparation method of the composite microcapsules provided in this example first modifies graphene with chitosan quaternary ammonium salt to ensure that graphene can be stably dispersed in chitosan solution, and then based on the gas-liquid shearing effect in a self-made microfluidic device The mixed micro-droplets of graphene / chitosan are formed in the medium, and then dropped into the anionic surfactant solution, and the re-coagulation effect makes the graphene modified by chitosan quaternary ammonium salt and chitosan molecules precipitate together to form microcapsules Membrane wall, thereby obtaining graphene / chitosan composite microcapsules, graphene is introduced into the microcapsule membrane wall in situ.

[0033] Specific steps are as follows:

[0034] (1) prepare chitosan quaternary ammonium salt modified graphene:

[0035] Place the flask filled with 46ml of concentrated sulfuric acid (98%) in an ice-water bath and cool it to 0°C, take 2.0g of natural f...

Embodiment 3

[0041] Chitosan quaternary ammonium salt-modified graphene was prepared according to the steps in step (2) of Example 2, using the self-made microfluidic device in step (2) of Example 1. Add 2 g of chitosan to 10 mL of 0.2 mol / L acetic acid solution, stir at room temperature for 2 h to fully dissolve the chitosan, and let stand for 1 h after stirring to eliminate bubbles in the solution. The graphene modified by 5g chitosan quaternary ammonium salt is dispersed in 10mL water, then chitosan solution and modified graphene dispersion are mixed in a volume ratio of 10:2, then the mixed dispersion is controlled by a micro-injection pump to The flow rate of 3mL / h is passed into the circular capillary of the microfluidic device, N 2 As the external phase fluid, the gas is passed into the gap between the circular and square capillaries at a flow rate of 0.5 L / min. Under the action of gas shear, the mixed dispersion liquid forms micro-droplets at the outlet of the microfluidic device, ...

Abstract

The invention relates to a graphene / chitosan compound micro-capsule and preparation method thereof. The compound micro-capsule is regular in shape and uniform in granularity distribution; the mechanical performance of film wall is obviously improved; the compound micro-capsule is formed by in-situ introducing graphene into the film wall of a chitosan micro-capsule, wherein the compound micro-capsule is spherical and 300 to 1000 microns in size, and the granularity distribution coefficient is not greater than 6%. The preparation method of the compound micro-capsule comprises the steps of modifying graphene through chitosan quaternary ammonium salt to ensure that graphene can be stably dispersed in a chitosan solution; generating mixed micro drops of graphene / chitosan in an independent micro-flow control device based on the air-liquid shearing effect; dropping into an anionic surfactant solution; performing compound flocculation to synchronously separate out chitosan quaternary ammonium salt modified graphene and chitosan to form micro-capsule film wall so as to obtain the graphene / chitosan compound micro-capsule; graphene is in-situ introduced into the film wall of the micro-capsule. The method is simple to operate, mild in condition, and high in reproducibility.
